Man kills wife and five young children

A father who may have recently been fired from his job has shot dead his wife and five young children, police in Los Angeles say.

A Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) spokeswoman said the family of seven was found dead at a home in the suburb of Wilmington south of Los Angeles on Tuesday.

Police believe the man killed his family then committed suicide. The identities of the dead have not been released.

"Right now we're investigating if the father killed his wife and five kids and then turned the revolver on himself and killed himself," LAPD Deputy Chief Ken Garner told KFWB radio.

Garner said police were originally contacted by a local television station, which apparently received a telephone call and a fax from a man saying he was going to kill his family and himself.

Garner said the fax indicated the man may have recently lost his job.

"He was despondent over his job situation," Garner said.

"He was going through some critical situation at the job... and that's what prompted him to take his own life and his family, from what was said in the fax letter."

The dead included an eight-year-old girl, five-year-old twin girls and two-year-old twin boys.

"It was a grisly scene," Garner said.

"I've been on the police department for 32 years and I've never seen anything like this... it's horrific. It's a tragedy," he added.

The Los Angeles region has seen several high-profile mass shootings in recent months.

In December, a gunman dressed as Santa Claus stormed into the home of his former in-laws on Christmas Eve and opened fire on his ex-wife and her family before setting the house alight.

Nine people were killed in the rampage before the gunman took his own life.

Last October, a 45-year-old man shot his wife, three children and mother-in-law before killing himself, reportedly because of financial woes.
