5 dead in apparent murder-suicide at DeKalb apartment

Five people, including a one-year-old boy and a five-year-old girl, were killed in a suspected murder-suicide at a DeKalb County apartment complex Saturday night, authorities said.

The shooting, which is believed to be domestic-related, happened just before 7:30 p.m. along the 2100 block of Vineyard Walk inside an apartment, where Christmas lights surrounded a window facing the parking lot, police said. The address corresponds to the Vineyards at Flat Shoals.

Details are limited, but when officers arrived for a wellness check, they found the two children and a 43-year-old woman, a 32-year-old man, and a 26-year-old woman dead from gunshot wounds, police said. Their names were not released.
