(CNN) — Five children were found shot to death in a home near Tacoma, Washington, Saturday afternoon, police said.

Pierce County sheriff’s spokesman Ed Troyer told CNN that the children, ages 7 to 16, were killed by their father, who apparently committed suicide later in nearby King County.

The children — four girls and one boy — were found in a Pierce County home.

Troyer said the children’s mother was located after the shootings.
