A father allegedly murdered his estranged wife and his three kids, ages 2, 5 and 9, before killing himself in what Oklahoma City police called a “massacre.”

Officers were called around 11:30 p.m. to a home on the city’s northwest side for a domestic call after a family member walked in and found the gunshot victims, according to a police press release. When officers went inside the home they found five people suffering from gunshot wounds, three of whom were deceased. The shooter, 28-year-old Reuben Armendariz, and one of the children were taken to the hospital where they later died, the press release said.

TV stations reporting from the scene showed a massive area roped off by crime tape and police investigated. A motive for the shootings has not been released.
