(CNN) -- Six people were killed, including two children, and another three children wounded in a shooting Monday in Memphis, Tennessee, authorities said. Police and fire units responded Monday after six people were killed in Memphis, Tennessee. Memphis Fire Department spokeswoman Melanie Young said firefighters responded to a 911 call at a home at 6:11 p.m. Monday when the bodies and wounded children were found. The wounded children -- a 7-year-old boy, a 10-month-old girl and a 4-year-old whose gender wasn't immediately known -- were transported to Le Bonheur Children's Medical Center. They were in the emergency room being treated for gunshot wounds, said hospital spokeswoman Jennilyn Utkov. The Commercial Appeal newspaper that one child was upgraded to stable condition late Monday, another was upgraded to critical and the third was still in extremely critical condition. "We just don't know the motive or cause of death, but we do have four adults and two children [dead]," Memphis police Lt. Jerry Guin told the paper. Rob Robinson told the Commercial Appeal that he was the landlord for the brick, single-family house that rented for $550 per month. "They were very nice, very polite to me," Robinson told the paper of the residents. "It's kind of surprising, actually. I've never had any trouble with them, no damage to the property. They paid their rent and even helped with repairs and stuff." Neighbor Leo Baker told CNN affiliate WMC-TV he has lived nearby for 10 years but did not know the residents of the home. The newspaper reported that the shooting appeared to be the city's deadliest mass killing since 1973, when 28-year-old David Sanders randomly shot and killed five people before being shot dead by police. In 2000, police said firefighter Frederick Williams confessed to a shooting in Memphis in which four people were killed -- his wife, a sheriff's deputy and two fellow firefighters. |
The details of this story will be interesting as they have no motive for the killings yet. It doesn't say that the 4 adults were related, I wonder if any of them were the parents.

Memphis Children Including Killed Six
Yes it is going to be interesting on what transpired in the home. Four adults and 5 kids. I hope the three kids pull through. Maybe they can give some insight to what happened. I think that two families were together and a fight broke out. But I could be wrong.

What a bargin, I can't even get an apartment for that, must be a low income area. I hate to see children involved in these horrible crimes.
