Authorities in Michigan identified Kristopher Karolkiewicz as the man who killed his wife and six children before taking his own life in a suspected murder-suicide.
Autopsies confirmed that Kristopher, his wife Amanda, and their six children died from gunshot wounds, while investigators said a fire was intentionally set throughout the home afterward.
The Grand Haven Township killings are being investigated as a family annihilation, a type of mass murder typically involving a person killing multiple close relatives.
Officials said they are continuing to investigate what led to the tragedy and have found no evidence of an outside suspect, The Guardian has reported.
The deaths are among a growing number of mass killings in the U.S., renewing discussions about domestic violence, gun access, and prevention efforts.
