Five people were found dead inside a Phoenix home after a shooting Thursday in a suspected family dispute, police said.
Police did not immediately release the names or ages of the three men and two women, but confirmed they were all adults. The three men were apparently brothers and the dead women were the men's mother and a spouse of one of the brothers, police said.
A woman who was able to leave the home told authorities that the incident was a family dispute gone wrong, police spokesman Sgt. Trent Crump said.
"Our dispatcher could hear shots fired in the background while that call was coming in," Crump said. "A caller had been able to escape the home at that point, get out and start to give us information."
The caller reportedly was able to exit the home with two children. Crump could not immediately identify the relationship of the caller with the people inside the home.
Police discovered the bodies after an hours-long barricade situation in a residential neighborhood. Witnesses said they heard the sound of muted gunshots about after a standoff began.
Crump said a SWAT team used a robot to search the house before sending in a dog and officers.
It wasn't immediately clear how many people fired shots, but police say they weren't looking for any outstanding suspects.
