National police spokesman Leonel Sauceda called the attack in the northern city of San Pedro Sula "a massacre." He said the motive had not yet been determined.
Sauceda said police were not ruling out the possibility the attack may have been related to drug trafficking. San Pedro Sula has been a hotbed of gunbattles between drug traffickers and among the country's Mara street gangs.
Sauceda said at least four men using assault rifles were involved in the attack at the small shoe factory. He said 23 employees were present and all were either killed or wounded.
