The attack came almost eight years to the day after a fire at a casino in the northern city of Monterrey killed 52 people. The Zetas drug cartel staged that 2011 attack to enforce demands for protection payments.
The area is close to the intersection outside the Chacchoben archaeological site, located barely one kilometre (0.62 miles) outside Limones, a town within the city limits of Bacalar, which is popular with tourists.
Seven people - three adults and four minors - died when part of a hillside collapsed in central Mexico due to heavy rainfall, local authorities said on Thursday.
"We have detected over 200, many of whom continued on their way while the pregnancies of others were so far along they had to be taken to General Hospital," a senior official told Efe news.
US President Donald Trump has announced the indefinite suspension of tariffs against Mexican imports after the two countries signed a deal to stem the flow of migrants from Central America.
Elimination of these tariffs is expected to remove a significant barrier to passing the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). The USD 1.4 trillion in North American trade supports more than 12 million American jobs.
The shooters fled the scene and authorities are reviewing videos from security cameras nearby.
Local residents reported that two wounded people had left on their own means to get medical attention.
At first the gasoline leak was manageable, locals say, emitting a tame fountain of fuel that allowed for filling small buckets at a time. But as the crowd swelled to more than 600, people became impatient.
The leak was caused by an illegal pipeline tap in the small town of Tlahuelilpan, about 62 miles (100 kilometers) north of Mexico City, according to state oil company Petroleos Mexicanos, or Pemex.
Governor of Hidalgo state Omar Fayad said that the explosion took place in Tlahuelilpan, about 105 kilometres north of the Mexico city.
Negotiations between the US President and congressional leaders have stalled as neither side seems willing to budge on funding for a wall along the border with Mexico. That proposal remains deeply unpopular with the public, according to the poll.
Trump asked this question when he was told by the official that individuals from several South Asian nations attempted to cross the porous border with Mexico.
Police in the Pacific coast state of Guerrero said Wednesday that the men and 1-year-old boy were found shot to death at a home in the Arboledas neighborhood.
Without a resolution, more than 800,000 government workers could be furloughed or sent to work without pay beginning at midnight on Friday, disrupting government operations days before Christmas.
In the public debate, Trump sounded more determined than ever to allow a partial government shutdown unless he gets the billions he wants for his long-promised wall along the US-Mexico border.
Migrants at the Southern Border will not be allowed into the US until their claims are individually approved in court, Trump said.
According to reports, over 1,000 migrants have arrived in the Mexican border city of Tijuana.
On the Mexican side of a border bridge, they were met by a phalanx of police with riot shields.
