HOUSTON -- Four people, including two children, have been found shot dead at a home in the U.S. state of Arkansas Tuesday, local media reported.

The shooting happened at a residence in Alma city in west Arkansas. Local TV station KHBS reported the victims were found in the front and back yards of the home. KHBS said deputies believed the suspect was a man who shot and killed himself as officers arrived.

The Southwest Times Record newspaper said investigators had not released the identities of those killed but believed one of the dead shot the others.

The motive of the family homicide is yet to be revealed. Police were seen directing traffic off the scene and inquiring of neighbors. State police were reportedly called in to help investigate with the local sheriff's office. No other information is available now.
