Five members of a Utah family including children aged 2, 9 and 11 were found dead of gunshot wounds in their home on Tuesday, while one 17-year-old boy was injured, police said.



There were no suspects at large, police said, indicating the shooter was someone within the family.



"We do not believe there's a suspect on the loose. We believe at this point that this is an incident that's isolated to this home," West Valley police spokesperson Roxeanne Vainuku told reporters.



The 17-year-old was in the hospital undergoing treatment and it was too soon to determine whether he was a suspect or a victim, Vainuku said.



The five dead were a man, 42, a woman, 38, a boy, 11, and two girls ages 9 and 2, Vainuku said.
