10 killed in massacre near Mexican border city

Gunmen burst into a home east of the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez where people were celebrating a baseball team's victory and killed 10 people, authorities said Monday. The killings occurred Sunday night in Loma Blanca, a town in the Juarez Valley. The dead included a 7-year-old girl, her mother, three teenage boys and five adult men, said Arturo Sandoval, spokesman for the Chihuahua state prosecutors' office. The bodies were found scattered over a radius of about 12 yards (meters) around the home, suggesting some had tried to flee when they were gunned down. A trophy from the baseball game was also found at the home. Over 30 shell casing found at the scene indicated the killers used assault rifles in the attack.
