A devastating tragedy has unfolded in Michigan after emergency crews responding to a house fire found eight members of the same family, including six children, dead. At least some of the dead inside the home had gunshot wounds.
Deputies with the Ottawa county sheriff’s office and firefighters from the Grand Haven fire department were dispatched at about 11.40am local time on Friday to a residence on Riverside Trail in Grand Haven Township.
Once crews entered the smoke-filled home to extinguish the fire, they made the grim discovery.
“Units made entry inside to battle the fire because there was smoke showing from the residence. When they got inside, they noticed that there were several people deceased inside the home,” Capt Jacob Sparks said at a press conference. “Some of the victims did have gunshot wounds to their bodies.”
Officials confirmed the victims were two adults and six children aged five to 15. Their identities have not yet been released.
