TIJUANA – Another high-ranking municipal police official has been shot and killed, along with his wife and two daughters, police officials said Tuesday.

Margarito Saldana Rivera, 43, was shot to death around 4 a.m. at his home in the Los Piños area of Tijuana. Rivera was a district chief in Los Piños, according to municipal police.

His wife and 12-year-old daughter were also slain. A 4-year-old daughter was wounded in the attack and died at a hospital, police officials said.

Top federal, state and municipal law enforcement officials plan to discuss the attack during a noon news conference at Tijuana's municipal police headquarters. Security is visibly tight around the building, with numerous officers wearing ski masks and brandishing weapons.
