Authorities believe Xuong Le’s brother, 43-year-old Canh Le, was the shooter in this incident. He, along with the other five victims, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators suspect Canh Le shot and killed the members of his family, plus two police officers before the house went up in flames.
Both officers have since been treated and released from the hospital.
