Five family members were fatally shot in an apparent murder-suicide Sunday afternoon at an Orchards home.

Authorities did not release the identities of the deceased. But Clark County sheriff’s Sgt. Chris Skidmore said all were adults, including the apparent shooter.

Clark County sheriff’s deputies responded at 1:06 p.m. for a welfare check in the 11500 block of Northeast 92nd Street.
