SANTA CLARA, California — Police say six people are dead — four of them children — after a shooting at a home in an upscale neighborhood of the Northern California city of Santa Clara. Santa Clara police Lt. Phil Cook says officers went to the home Sunday evening and found five people dead and two wounded. One of the wounded victims — an infant girl — died later at a hospital. Police said three of the victims who were dead at the scene also were children. Investigators said one of the two adults dead at the house was a man with an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound. The police lieutenant said the shooting appeared to be a "family on family, murder-suicide." Authorities said the lone survivor — a woman — was hospitalized with life-threatening wounds. ______ Copyright 2009 Associated Press. All rights reserved.
