Goshen is a small unincorporated town in the central valley of California.  Population is about 3,000.  There are six fewer now than there were a couple of days ago.

Some person or persons unknown murdered six people there in the wee hours of Monday.  The dead included a 17-year old mother and her six-month old baby.  This was not a spray-and-pray drive-by but a targeted attack.  The Tulare County S.O. found two dead in the street, a third in the doorway and three more inside the house.  One was still barely alive but died at the hospital.  The young mother and baby were killed by head shots.

A narcotics related search was conducted at the residence last week.  The murders are believed to have been gang and drug related.  The cops believe there were at least two shooters.
