Thirteen people were killed as well as more than 50 injured after a prison riot on Saturday at the La Pila prison in San Luis Potosi, Mexico.

The riot unwound in a cellblock of the prison and left people dead by use of sharp objects and other improvised weapons.

The cause of the riot is unclear, but the head of the state’s prison system says at least 100 inmates were involved in the brawl.

Governor Fernando Toranzo of San Luis Potosi says local authorities will investigate if prison personnel played a part in the outbreak.
