A family of eight was found deceased in a Grand Haven Township, Michigan, house fire, and some of the dead had been shot.

WWMT reported that Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office deputies were alerted to a possible fire between 8:30 and 930 a.m., when people reported smelling smoke. However, the actual blaze was not found until shortly before noon.

Upon arriving, deputies discovered the bodies of “six children, aged five to 15, and two adults in their 40s.”

The Associated Press noted that some of the deceased had “gunshot wounds.”

Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office Capt. Jacob Sparks spoke to reporters but did not detail which of the victims had been shot nor give a firm number regarding how many victims were shot.

Sparks said, “It’s a complicated scene, a complex scene,” but made clear law enforcement is not looking for a suspect at large. Rather, they believe they are dealing with a murder-suicide.
