Five children were found shot to death in Graham, near Tacoma, Washington state, local police reported, cited by CNN.

The tragedy happened Saturday afternoon, just hours after three police officers, responding to an emergency call, were killed by a gunman in Pittsburgh and a day after a man shot dead 13 people in New York state.

Pierce County sheriff's spokesman told CNN that the children dead bodies were found at a trailer where they lived with their father.

The children, four girls and one boy, ages 7 to 16, were killed by their father, who apparently committed suicide later. The police found the body of the father first. The 35-year-old man was found dead in his still-running car near the Muckleshoot Casino in Auburn, about 18 miles north of Graham and 30 miles south of Seattle. The children were discovered when police went to the trailer park to notify relatives.

The sheriff's spokesman said the children's mother was located after the shootings.
