Eight people, including six children, were found dead in a Michigan home after a fire, some with gunshot wounds, law enforcement said Friday, reports AP.

Police and fire authorities responded just before noon to a house fire in Grand Haven Township, on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan. When they went inside, they found the bodies, Capt. Jacob Sparks of the Ottawa County Sheriff's Office said at an evening news conference.

Sparks said authorities had not fully identified all the victims yet and do not have an official cause of death for them. The children's ages ranged from 5 to 15, he said.

He did not say how many of the people had gunshot wounds.

"It's a complicated scene, a complex scene," Sparks said.

He said investigators were not looking for outside suspects and one theory so far is a murder-suicide. He said everyone who lived in the home appeared to be deceased.

Sparks said the fire was "suspicious" and there was reason to believe it was intentionally set. Michigan State Police arson investigators are assisting on scene, he said.

Grand Haven Township has a population of about 18,000 and is 25 miles west of Grand Rapids.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
