5 Killed -- Including 3 Kids -- In Murder-Suicide

5 Dead, Teenager Wounded In Yorba Linda

YORBA LINDA, Calif. (AP) ― Five people were found dead, three of them children, in what appeared to be a murder-suicide in a home across the street from the Richard Nixon Library.

Police say a 14-year-old boy called 911 about 11 Saturday night to report that his father had shot him and his brother at their condominium.

Police found the body of a woman on the doorstep. Inside, they found the bodies of a 5-year-old boy and two girls, ages 8 and 9. Officers also found the body of a man with a shotgun beneath him.

Police did not immediately know the motive for the shootings or the relationship of the victims.

The teenager who called 911 was hospitalized in stable condition.

Names of the victims were not released because relatives had not been notified.

Yorba Linda is a bedroom community in Orange County, 40 miles southeast of Los Angeles.
