Two gang members were arrested early Friday, one after a gun battle, in the January massacre of six people including a baby at a central California home associated with a rival gang, the Tulare County sheriff said. The suspects and members of the victims' family have a long history of gang violence but the motive for the shooting "is not exactly clear," The Tulare County District Attorney's Office charged both suspects with six counts of murder and other crimes.

The six victims, including a teen mother and her baby, were gunned down on Jan. 16 in rural Goshen. Both suspects had been under around-the-clock surveillance since Jan. 23. The multi-agency operation included the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
