Six members of family dead in murder-suicide

Police were called to the home at about 8:30 p.m. Sunday by a neighbor reporting that a woman was injured outside the home, Cooke said. Officers arrived and found five people dead inside the home, Cooke said. All had been shot.

Two of the dead were men, one of whom was believed to be the gunman, Cooke said. The other slain victims were children, including a boy, a girl and a young teenage girl or young adult woman, police said.
The woman found outside the home had also been shot, Cooke said. She was taken to a local hospital, where she was reported to be in critical condition.

An infant girl found injured at the home died early today, Cooke said.
Two handguns were found inside the residence, but police are awaiting the results of ballistics tests before determining whether one or both weapons were used, authorities said.
Police had no previous reports of problems at the home, Cooke said. Authorities would not disclose a motive or say whether any notes were found.

"We do believe this appears to be a family-on-family murder-suicide," Cooke said.
