Mexico City, Nov 5 (SocialNews.XYZ) At least five US citizens -- a mother and four children -- have been killed in a violent attack by suspected drug cartel gunmen in northern Mexico, the media reported on Tuesday.
The victims were said to be members of the LeBaron family, linked to a breakaway Mormon community which settled in Mexico several decades ago, reports the BBC.
LeBaron family members said that a large group of three mothers and 14 children had set off in a convoy of cars from Bavispe in Sonora state and were heading to La Mora in the neighbouring state of Chihuahua.
They were ambushed by gunmen in Bavispe. A burnt-out bullet-proof SUV was later found by the side of the road with the remains of the victims.
Video of the scene shows a burnt-out car and some victims may have burned alive. Several more people were also reported missing.
Local media have said that the attack could have been a case of mistaken identity.
