Two Suspects Sought After Family of 7 Found Dead in Indianapolis Home

INDIANAPOLIS — Seven family members, the youngest just 5 years old, were shot to death in their home near a women's prison, and police said Friday they were seeking at least two men for questioning.
The attack appeared to have been a home invasion, but not random or gang-related, Deputy Police Chief Tim Foley said. He said investigators were considering several possible motives.
Police reached the home shortly after 10 p.m. Thursday after a witness who had dropped off one of the victims at the home saw her being dragged inside and heard gunfire.
Inside, the officers found three children — ages 5 to 11 — dead on a bed and the bodies of four adults scattered in the home on the city's east side, police said.
All had been shot in what police described as the city's worst mass killings in decades.
Police Chief Michael Spears released the photo of one suspect Friday morning, Desmond Turner, 28, of Indianapolis, a man with a criminal history that includes time served for pointing a handgun and criminal recklessness. Witnesses told police they saw as many as three or four men running from the back of the home.
The victims spanned three generations of a family.......http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,197910,00.html
