GRAPEVINE -- Seven
people were found shot to death Sunday inside a Grapevine, Texas,
apartment,
police said.
The seven, believed to be related, were
apparently in the process of opening Christmas gifts
or had just finished doing so in the apartment's living room area, said
Grapevine police Sgt. Robert Eberling.
Authorities responded to the address "in
reference to a 911 open line," Grapevine police
said in a statement.
The seven bodies -- four female adults
and three adult males -- were found when officers
entered the apartment. "All victims appear to have gunshot wounds," said
the statement.
Authorities are not searching for a
suspect, said Eberling, and believe one of the seven
people was the shooter.
The victims range in age from about 18
years to middle age, he said.
The investigation was ongoing,
authorities said. Grapevine is about 25 miles northwest of
Dallas.
