Sixteen people have been killed by suspected Maoist rebels in a village in the Indian state of Bihar, police say.
The attack took place in Amba Icharwa village in Khagaria district, 200km (124 miles) from the state capital, Patna, late on Thursday night.
A survivor, whose son was among the dead, told the BBC that the attackers tied up 16 people and shot them.
The Maoists say they are fighting for the rights of the poor. They operate in parts of central and eastern India.
More than 6,000 people have been killed during their 20-year fight for a communist state.
