Mexican authorities: Gunmen kill 10 people, including a child

Mexican authorities announced tonight that at least ten people were killed in an attack by armed men in the city of Tehuizingo in eastern Mexico.

The victims are six men, three women and one child, all of whom were shot this morning, the public safety agency said.

Local authorities have not said whether there are any suspects in the murders.

In February, six people were killed in the same area, and a few days later, three more people.

That part of Mexico has recently seen an increase in drug cartel violence, forcing about 1.000 families to flee their homes.
