MEXICO CITY: Ten men were killed and a woman and two boys were wounded in a shooting attack on a home in western Mexico Saturday. Prosecutor­s in the state of Jalisco said the bullet-ridden bodies of the 10 men were found by police on the sidewalk in front of the home. Another wounded boy was found inside, and a woman and another boy were located at a local hospital. The prosecutor­s' office said the attack was carried out by unidentifi­ed assailants travelling in an SUV. The state is home to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, one of Mexico's most violent and power ful. More bodies have been found in clandestin­e burial pits in Jalisco there than in any other state in recent years. The cartel has been fighting a breakaway faction in and around Guadalajar­a.
