shooting deaths of six people, including a 6-month-old baby in Tulare.

Deputies responded early Monday morning to an address in Goshen for reports of multiple shots heard, said Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux. Goshen, a community of about 3,000, lies along Highway 99 between Fresno and Bakersfield. They found multiple bodies with gun shot wounds.

“We believe that this was a targeted family. We believe that there are gang associations involved in this scene, as well as potential narcotics investigations,” the sheriff said. He added the sheriff’s office had conducted a search warrant at the house in a drug investigation just one week before the shooting.
