The police were able to intercept the suspect before he got to his destination.

As of this posting, the suspect was still inside his car, armed with a handgun that he was holding to his head.

Nearby homes have already been evacuated as negotiation between the suspect and the police was still on going.

A grim scene, however, met policemen who went to the house as they found three children and two adults already on the ground bathe in their own pool of blood.

A fourth child died on the way to the hospital.

The woman, who called the police, was also shot and was declared in critical condition at a local hospital.
