California IN BRIEF : WILLITS : 2 Adults, 3 Children Found Slain in Home

Five people--a couple and three children--were found slain in a rural Mendocino County home, police said. Authorities have not yet determined if all five were members of the same family, said Willits police spokeswoman Barbara Hahn. But she said the victims were a man, a woman, two elementary school-age children and a baby. Hahn would not confirm that the deaths were a result of a murder-suicide. “But we are not actively seeking a suspect at large,” she added. A gun was used in at least some of the killings, and a weapon was found in the home, she said. The bodies were discovered Thursday morning in a bungalow near the center of town after police received a call saying the residents had not been seen in two days and did not answer the door.
