A father shot dead his four children and their mother before turning the gun on himself in a murder-suicide at the family's home in Kansas, US. He is reported to have made a 911 call confessing to the killings shortly before his own death, alerting emergency services to the scene.

Few further details have been released about the circumstances surrounding the killings, including a possible motive, the ages of the children, or the exact location and timing of the incident. The case is likely to remain under investigation by local authorities as more information emerges.
