A family of four, including two children, were fatally shot while sleeping in their Minnesota home in what police believe to be a murder-suicide incident, authorities said.

The suspected gunman, a relative of the family, was found dead in the home from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, Duluth Police Department Chief Mike Tusken said.

"It's just a sad day," a visibly shaken Tusken said during a briefing on the incident Thursday.

"In 32 years, we haven't seen anything like this, when we've had four victims of a homicide," he said.
