A grieving father has been reunited with his baby girl after his wife and eight other family members were slaughtered by a Mexican drug cartel.
Mum Christina Johnson has been hailed a hero for saving her seven-month-old daughter Faith, who miraculously survived the massacre unharmed as bullets "just missed" her tiny body.
Members of the LeBaron Mormon family feared Faith was killed along with her mum, but she was found alive strapped into her car seat on the floor of their SUV.
More than 200 bullets were fired during the execution of three mothers and six children, who were travelling in three vehicles that may have been mistaken for a rival cartel.
Faith's grandmother and aunts have shared a photo showing the moment the infant was reunited with her father, Tyler Johnson, who is pictured with a huge smile as he holds the girl in his arms on a sofa at home.
Family members have said Mrs Johnson, 29, put a blanket over Faith and threw her car seat on the floor to protect her from gunmen who were armed with assault rifles.
Cartel gunmen shot her in the chest at point-blank range when she got out of her car and raised her arms in the air to suggest she was surrendering and unarmed on a remote road in northern Mexico.
Faith's grandmother, Connie LeBaron, wrote on Facebook: "My son Tyler reunited with his baby Faith just now.
"God is so good for sparing her life.
"She is a living angel and has brought hope to our family."
Aunt Jolie Galaz, who also posted the photo of the father and daughter, wrote: "My brother reunited with his baby! Thank you Jesus.
"God is so good and gave us hope in this sadness.
"We thought little Faith was dead for about 4 hours.
"Until we got a message saying they found her in her car seat and her mama had put a blanket over her to protect her.
"My sweet angel. You are a miracle! I’m so happy your still here with us."
Another aunt, Connie Johnson, wrote: "My brother and his precious baby! I can’t wait to love on little Faith!
"She was in her car seat alone for hours. Bullets just missed her car seat!
"After hours of people saying she had died we got the news that they found her alive. She’s such a miracle."
Three mothers and six children - dual US-Mexico citizens - were killed in Monday's slaughter, which has been blamed on a ruthless drug cartel.
Mexican officials say it may have been a case of mistaken identity.
The victims were members of the LeBaron family, a breakaway Mormon community whose ancestors settled in northern Mexico almost 100 years ago.
Distressing photos taken in the aftermath of the attack show a baby's blood-stained car seat, a baby's full milk bottle covered in blood and SUVs riddled with bullet holes.
Mrs Johnson and Faith were travelling in one of the three SUVs that were ambushed near the Mormon community of La Mora, about 70 miles south of the US border, at about 1pm local time on Monday.
Rhonita Miller, 30, and four of her children - Howard Miller, 12, Krystal Miller, 10, and twins Titus and Tiana Miller, both eight months - were all killed when their SUV was sprayed with bullets and destroyed by fire.
Mum Dawna Langford, 43, and two of her children - Trevor Langford, 11, and Rogan Langford, two - died in a third vehicle.
Faith and Mrs Langford's six other children survived the attack in the state of Sonora, which has been condemned by the Mexican and American presidents.
Family said the Langford children who survived were Kylie, 14, who was shot in the foot; Devin, 13, who was not injured and walked for hours to raise the alarm; McKenzie, nine, whose arm was grazed by a bullet; Cody, eight, who was shot in the face and the leg; Jake, six, who escaped without injury; Xander, four, who was shot in the back; and eight-month-old Brixon, who was shot in the chest
Devin hid his brothers and sisters with tree branches as he walked 14 miles home to get help.
Family members said Mrs Miller was driving to Phoenix, Arizona, with her children to pick up her husband from the airport as he returned home from working in North Dakota.
Her car blew a tyre and she returned to the community to get another vehicle and left again just before Mrs Johnson and Mrs Langford left with their children.
Mrs Johnson and Mrs Langford were heading to the neighbouring state of Chihuahua for a wedding due to take place on Friday.
Grieving family members gathered on Tuesday at the site where Mrs Miller's car was attacked.
They hugged and consoled each other as the gazed down inside the burned-out vehicle where their relatives' charred remains were found a day earlier.
LeBaron family members have demanded a tough response from Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and US President Donald Trump.
In a series of tweets, Trump had threatened to "wage war" against drug cartels.
A suspect has been arrested in Mexico as authorities hunt the gunmen, according to officials.
Mexico's Ministerial Agency for Criminal Investigations said the man was holding two bound and gagged hostages in the border town of Agua Priests, Sonora.
The man was armed with assault rifles and a huge cache of ammunition, the agency said.
