Authorities say a man shot and killed his three children, one other person, along with himself at a church in Sacramento, California.
A sheriff's official said deputies who were responding to reports of gunfire at around 5 p.m. local time found five people dead, including the shooter, at the church in the city's Arden-Arcade neighborhood. He said the victims included three juveniles under 15 years of age. The identity of an additional victim wasn't immediately known.
Sgt. Rod Grassmann with the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office said he didn't know if the family members belonged to the church, theAssociated Press reported. Grassmann said officials are investigating the scene as a domestic violence incident.
Reports said that it wasn't immediately clear how many others were at the church at the time, or if there were any services or activities happening during the shooting.
