The unidentified
Dearborn Heights man told police by phone at about 1:30 a.m.
that he had killed his family at their home, police told ABC
affiliate WXYZ in Detroit. He was waiting on the porch when they
arrived, WXYZ reported.
Police said his two teenage stepchildren, 17 and 19, had been
shot dead, and his two biological children, 4 and 6, had died
from carbon monoxide poisoning, WXYZ reported.
"We don't have a lot of instances like this ... it is a very
tragic situation," Dearborn Heights Mayor Dan Paletko told WXYZ.
"Words can't explain what took place here."
Dearborn Heights police were not available for comment.
