Pierce County Sheriff's deputies late this afternoon found five children, ages 7 to 16, dead in a Graham-area home, apparently the victims of violence.
Investigators believe the children may have been killed by their father who was discovered dead earlier this afternoon at an Auburn address, according to Pierce County Sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer. They believe the man, 35, took his own life.
Deputies were called to check on the welfare of the children in a home in the 20400 block of 135th Avenue Court East after officers found the father's body.
Troyer said four of the children were girls. One, the 7-year-old, was a boy, Troyer said.
