Six people, including a 17-year-old mother and her six-month-old baby, were shot to death today (Monday) in a home in Goshen, in central California.
The authorities described the case as a "horrible massacre" and began searching for at least two suspects.
The local sheriff, Mike Boudreau, said that it was apparently a deliberate attack on the family and that there were gangs involved in the case, when there is also the possibility of involvement in drug deals.
The authorities had earlier received a report of multiple gunshots heard in the area, Bordo said, and when they arrived at the scene they identified five dead and a seriously wounded man who was later pronounced dead at the hospital.
Bordo added that some of the six were found shot in the house while others were found in the street.
"We have additional information, but I am not allowed to discuss at this stage," Bordo added, "We have potential information, which will hopefully lead to potential suspects."
