Another clip shows four suspects arriving at the bar in a silver pickup before two go inside and the others remain with the vehicle.
The massacre left at least 10 people dead and 13 others injured, two seriously, according to Public Security official Juan Luis Ferrusca Ortiz.
The deceased have been identified as seven men and three women.
The shooting took place at Cantaritos Bar in Santiago de Querétaro, located north-west of the Mexican capital Mexico City, at around 9.30pm on Saturday (9 Nov)
The suspects reportedly used long-range weapons in the attack.
The police identified the licence plate of the suspects’ getaway vehicle and tracked it to the municipality of El Marqués, about six miles outside the city.
They found the pickup completely burned out after apparently being set ablaze to cover the criminals’ tracks.
State governor Mauricio Kuri called the massacre an “unprecedented event”, adding: “We cannot ever stand for this.
“I reiterate to our community that there will be punishment for those responsible for this brutal act.

“The entire security system of Querétaro is mobilized to find these criminals.”
He called on the local population to inform themselves through official channels to avoid spreading misinformation.
He also vowed to provide support to the victims’ families.
The motive for the attack is currently unclear.
According to security analyst David Saucedo, there are at least four criminal organisations operating in the city, as reported by Need To Know.
They are the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, the Santa Rosa de Lima Cartel, elements of the Familia Michoacana cartel, and a local gang involved in fuel smuggling.
The police have since announced that they have arrested one of the alleged shooters.
The investigation continues.
