XALAPA, Veracruz - An armed attack on a family in southern Veracruz left three dead and two children gravely injured last weekend, state officials announced on Monday.
The attack came Saturday in the municipality of Las Choapas, near the state border with Chiapas, said the state Attorney General´s office (PGJE).

The PGJE said Eliseo Castellanos Méndez, 46; his wife, Sorayda Ruiz; and their daughter, Gladis Castellanos Ruiz, 15, were all killed by large-caliber fire.

Two other children, aged 11 and 12, were seriously injured by the gunfire.

The PGJE said they so far have no suspects nor motive for the attack on the family.

Last Friday, five individuals, including the mayor of the town of Ixtepec in Oaxaca state, were killed by gunmen in the port of Veracruz, the state´s largest city.
