A baby and a toddler were among six members of the same family murdered in a central Mexican state plagued by cartel-related violence, a local official said Monday.
Authorities say armed attackers burst into a home in the city of Leon in Guanajuato on Sunday night and opened fire at the family.
"Unfortunately two children and four women died," state governor Diego Sinhue Rodriguez told reporters.
