Eight people, including six children, were found dead after a house fire in Grand Haven Township, Michigan, authorities said. Some victims showed signs of gunshot wounds.
Police and fire crews responded to the blaze just before noon on Monday. Inside the home on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan, they discovered the bodies. Captain Jacob Sparks of the Ottawa County Sheriff's Office said authorities had not yet identified all the victims and did not have an official cause of death for them.
At an evening news conference, Sparks said the deceased children ranged in age from 5 to 15 years old. Everyone who lived in the home appeared to be deceased, he added.
Sparks described the scene as "a complicated scene, a complex scene." Investigators were not looking for outside suspects. One theory under consideration is a murder-suicide. Officials believe the fire was intentionally set, based on preliminary findings. Michigan State Police arson investigators were on the scene collecting evidence.
Grand Haven Township has a population of about 18,000. It sits 25 miles west of Grand Rapids.
