Five family members including three children have been found dead inside a home in Utah, police said.

A 42-year-old man, a 38-year-old woman, a 11-year-old boy, and two girls, aged 9 and 2, were found shot dead in the house in West Valley City, according to the West Valley City Police Department.

A 17-year-old was also found in the garage with a gunshot wound and transported to hospital.

Authorities do not believe there is a suspect on the loose. Roxeanne Vainuku, a spokesperson for the police department, said the incident was "isolated to this home."

She added: "This is far beyond anything routine. There were four in this city for the entire year of 2024. This more than doubles that number. Absolutely horrific.

"This is something that certainly will weigh heavily on investigators in this case."

This is a breaking story. More to follow.
