SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) - At least five people were shot dead and two seriously injured in an apparent murder-suicide at a home in northern California, local media reports said early Monday.

The shootings took place at a residence in an upscale Santa Clara neighborhood outside San Francisco late Sunday, reports said.

Santa Clara police lieutenant Phil Cooke told the San Francisco Chronicle police were called to a home at around 8.30 pm (0330 GMT) on Sunday.

"When they got here, they found multiple gunshot victims inside the home," Cooke said. "There are five confirmed deceased inside the home. Two others were transported to the hospital with life-threatening injuries."

An adult and several children were among the dead, while an infant and adult had been hospitalized with serious injuries.

Police said the suspect was believed to be among the dead.

California has witnessed several murder-suicides involving multiple deaths in recent months.

In January a father apparently upset over the loss of his job shot dead his wife and five children before killing himself in a Los Angeles suburb.

The dead included an eight-year-old girl, five-year-old twin girls and two-year-old twin boys.

In December, a gunman dressed as Santa Claus stormed into the home of his former in-laws on Christmas Eve and opened fire on his ex-wife and her family before setting the house alight.

Nine people were killed in the rampage before the gunman took his own life.

In October, a 45-year-old man shot his wife, three children and mother-in-law before killing himself, reportedly because of financial woes.

They easily give up.  There is so much to live for in this world.  We just have to have faith in God that everything will be just fine.

California is a very expensive place to live, and is also a very crowded place to live. It has been a really horrible thing to open up my internet and find such crimes being commited.

California has made the news several times in the past weks regarding killings such as these.
What's wrong with people these days? Not enough paxill or zyprexa in their lives?

There's a lot of people who lost their jobs, and ultimately lost their houses here in California.  But crimes, it's all over not just in the State of California.  One common crime here that really hit me hard is the kidnapping and molesting of kids.  There's a lot of child molesters.  One unsolved case after another.  tsk tsk tsk

There is a high activity of MS13 gangs in California, too.

A result of uncontrolled illegal immigration and drug trafficking.

The perp is being as an engineer for Yahoo. No relation to the gang problem we have here. A problem that is growing in Bohol. The tags are there for you to see. Bloods in Red. Crips in Blue. Violent gangs are suspected in 12 killings in the city I live near this year alone. 25 last year. Salinas California. Calling out one violent gang is not productive. They are local and territorial. Killings are done within gangs and against
Ex-members, as well as nongang members. Gangs are family to these young people. They do not believe you can turn your back on your family.
