TEXAS: Seven people believed to be related had opened their Christmas
gifts and started cleaning up the wrapping paper when they were shot to
death in an apartment near Fort Worth, Texas, police said on Sunday.
Authorities said they believe the shooter is among the dead, but got a
warrant before doing a full search on the small chance that it was
otherwise. Four women and three men, aged 18 to 60, were found in an
adjoining kitchen and living room area when police entered the apartment
around midday, said Grapevine Police Sgt. Robert Eberling. Two handguns
were found near the bodies in the apartment that was decorated for the
holiday with a tree, he added. The victims have not yet been identified.
Eberling said that authorities still don t know what sparked the
incident. Investigators believe that all the victims were related, but
that some were only visiting and didn t live in the apartment. Police
are looking for other relatives to inform. Police and firefighters first
rushed to the Lincoln Vineyards complex after receiving an open-ended
911 call at about 11:30 a.m. (17:30 GMT), Eberling said. 'There was an
open line. No one was saying anything,' he explained.
