Two youngsters and their mother were among those killed when gunmen opened fire on a Mexican children’s party over a bloody weekend that saw nearly a dozen killed.
Authorities said the gunmen drove motorcycles into the party in Silao around 6 p.m. Saturday, killing six before speeding off, Mexico News Daily said in a report Monday.
But the shooters were not done: They kept firing as they fled, targeting others at another party and several who were drinking on a street corner, according to the report.
Hours later and about 70 miles away, a 3-year-old girl, three women and one man were gunned down in another attack in the city of Apaseo el Grande, the outlet reported.
An 8-month-old boy was also wounded in that attack, the Washington Post said.
Police later found a handwritten note at the scene linking the attack to drug gangs.
According to the report, originally published in the Spanish-language outlets Reforma and El Sol de Mexico, the region is the site of violent turf wars between rival narcotraffickers and has one the highest homicide rates in the country.

Seems a little excessive to me. I thought they only did that stuff in Chicago.
