In a statement, Alaska State Troopers said that officers responding to a report of shots being fired at the home found the four children dead from gunshot wounds.

The children were ages 5, 8, 17 and 15, said troopers spokesperson Tim DeSpain, noting that their parents were not home when the shooting occurred.

Troopers said, citing their investigation, that the boy shot three siblings and then shot himself, adding the question of motive is part of the probe.

Three other children were also at the home but were not injured, noted the statement.

DeSpain said the children who were not injured are all under the age of 7, adding all the children were siblings.
