Police: 5 adults found dead inside Phoenix home

PHOENIX (AP) — Five people were found dead inside a north Phoenix home after a shooting Thursday in a suspected family dispute, police said.

The names and ages of the three men and two women weren't immediately released, but police said they all were adults.

A woman who was able to leave the home told officers that it 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 exited the home with two children. Crump could not immediately confirm the caller's relationship to the people inside the home, but police believe it may have been a family dispute that led to the shooting.

Officers discovered the bodies after an hours-long barricade situation in a residential neighborhood. Witnesses at the scene said they heard the sound of muted gunshots about an hour after a standoff began.

A SWAT team used a robot to search the house before sending in a dog and officers, Crump said.

It wasn't immediately clear how many people fired shots, but police say they weren't looking for any outstanding suspects.

Now if everyone had their guns with them I am sure we could have got at least 1 survivor out of this situation.....

Well that is how most Americans I know would think.

Crump said some of the family members are believed to be of Moroccan descent, and police needed an Arabic translator when attempting to talk with the family during the standoff.

No word about the names but it was apparently an immigrant family arguing over the family's limo business.

My brother has a ranch near Tucson and I've spent some time there over the years.

In Arizona, the term "limo business" is often a euphemism for something else.

Just speculation.

Outside the cities and gated communities, it's no country for old men.

Thanks for the clarification. That makes sense.
