Gunmen storm Mexican resort, kill 7, including child
Armed men on Saturday killed a child and six others after storming a resort in the central Mexican state of Guanajuato, authorities said, in a region increasingly plagued by drug cartel violence.

Footage widely shared on social media showed the aftermath of the attack in a palm-studded resort in the small town of Cortazar, about 65 km (40 miles) south of the Guanajuato city.

It was not clear who was behind the shooting that killed the seven-year-old, three men and three women, Cortazar's local security department said. One person was seriously injured in the La Palma resort.

But in recent years rival drug cartels have been waging brutal battles to control territory and trafficking routes through the state.

Video taken soon after the attack showed shocked adults and children walking past piles of dead bodies near a swimming pool.

Two people were killed and other four were injured in a shooting in Louisville, Kentucky, on Saturday night. Louisville Metro Police said they received a call at about 9 p.m. reporting multiple people had been shot at Chickasaw Park.

Two people were dead when police arrived at the scene, Deputy Chief Paul L. Humphrey said. Another four people were transported to University of Louisville Hospital, where one was in critical condition, Humphrey said. The shooting comes days after a gunman opened fire at Old National Bank in Louisville, killing four people.

Mayor Craig Greenberg said on Saturday that "this is not who we are."

He said that “the love and support and strength that we've seen all week long throughout the city continues to bring us together and move us towards a safer city, a stronger city and a healthier city."

Drive-by shooting wounds 3, kills 12-year-old bystander

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Bullets sprayed out from a speeding car in Connecticut’s capital, killing an innocent 12-year-old bystander and wounding three other people who have had rap sheets that include gun crimes, authorities said Friday.

The suspects in the drive-by shooting appeared to target three males who were standing on a sidewalk on a residential street not far from downtown Hartford shortly after 8:30 p.m. Thursday, city police said.

Secret Pierce, a seventh grader at Milner Middle School, became Hartford’s seventh homicide victim of the year. She was sitting in a parked car when she was shot in the head, police said. She died Friday morning. The three other victims, males ages 16, 18 and 23, were expected to survive.

“This is a painful day in our community,” Mayor Luke Bronin said at a morning news conference outside police headquarters. “I don’t have the words. I want to say to Secret’s mom and loved ones that we all are so deeply sorry. That we are with them today in grief, in prayer and with love. ... A tragedy like this ripples outward in a community and affects so many.”

Man shot dead at gas station after mistakenly getting in wrong car. [View all]
FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — The alleged killer of a man who was fatally shot after getting into the wrong car at a local gas station just bonded out of jail.

That’s a date Dunnaville’s mother will never forget.

Channel 2 Action News calls her ‘T.C.’ and she did not show her face for safety reasons.

“I have not been able to sleep. I have not,” she said.

South Fulton Police said her 26-year-old son was shot and killed at the Shell Gas Station on Old National Highway after accidentally walking up to and getting inside the wrong car.

Police arrested Dericole Daniels and charged him with Misdeamor Voluntary Manslaughter. On Monday, he was released on a $150,000 bond.

Police: 5 people killed in shooting at home north of Houston

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A Texas man went next door with a rifle and began shooting his neighbors, killing an 8-year-old and four others inside the house, after the family asked him to stop firing rounds in his yard because they were trying to sleep, authorities said Saturday.

San Jacinto County Sheriff Greg Capers said authorities were still searching for the 39-year-old suspect following the overnight shooting in the town of Cleveland, about 45 miles (72 kilometers) north of Houston. He said the suspect, whom he did not identify, used an AR-style rifle in the shooting.

Capers said there were 10 people in the house and that no one else was injured. He said two of the victims, all believed to be from Honduras, were found laying over two children inside.

“The Honduran ladies that were laying over these children were doing it in such an effort as to protect the child,” Capers said.

Seven people found dead at Oklahoma home
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/se ... -rcna82341
The bodies of seven people were found Monday inside an Oklahoma home, authorities said.

The home is in Henryetta, roughly 50 miles south of Tulsa, a spokesperson for the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation said.

One of the bodies appeared to be Jesse McFadden, 39, Okmulgee County Sheriff Eddy Rice told reporters at the scene.

Rice said the medical examiner's office would confirm the identity of McFadden and the others.

A missing person advisory listing McFadden and two teenage girls was circulated earlier Monday by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.

Rice said he believed authorities found all those who had been reported missing. He declined to say how many of the victims were juveniles, how they died or how long they had been at the home.

He said he had "no idea" what led to the deaths but said it was "a tragic day in Okmulgee County."
