A man shot to death four people on Christmas Day in suburban Washington before killing himself, police said.
The man killed his mother in a house they shared in McLean and then traveled about eight miles to a house in Great Falls where he shot two men and a woman and then himself, The Washington Post reported on Monday, citing police sources.
The Fairfax County Police Department would not confirm the name of the gunman nor his relationship to one of the female victims when contacted Monday by The Associated Press.
The gunman apparently knew all of the victims, police said, but investigators did not report a motive for the shootings.
Authorities were called to the house in Great Falls after neighbors reported gunfire about 10:25 a.m. Sunday.
A 20-year-old man came out of the house after police arrived. They went inside and found the bodies as well as two dogs, one of which had been shot several times. The body in McLean was discovered after the Great Falls shootings were investigated.
