Four people were killed and another wounded in a shooting at a home in Utah on Friday night, with the suspect taken into custody, police and media reported.
The attack took place in the small town of Grantsville, on the outskirts of state capital Salt Lake City.
"Officers arrived, they did clear the residence and were able to locate the four deceased," said Grantsville police officer Rhonda Fields.
Fields said police were working to notify relatives and the fifth victim was being treated in hospital.
She did not confirm media reports that the attacker and victims were all from the same family.
"Our hearts are broken by the horrible news coming out Grantsville tonight. We mourn over the loss of innocent lives," Utah Governor Gary Herbert said on Twitter.

Roger Federer might have won 20 Grand Slams and six Australian Open titles but the Swiss great Saturday insisted he had "low expectations" at the first Major of the season.
The 38-year-old crowd favourite has yet to play a competitive match this year, opting out of the recent ATP Cup to spend more time with his family.
The team event in Brisbane, Perth and Sydney provided Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal with six high-intensity clashes heading into Melbourne Park, and Federer knows he has his back to the wall.
Seeded three, he has a tricky clash against 81st-ranked American Steve Johnson first up.
"I'm happy to be back in Australia. I'm happy to be playing here, of course, I love it," said Federer, who has returned for a 21st Australian Open campaign.
"Look, it's a tricky situation right now playing somebody who has just played a lot this week. He's ready to go. He's match-ready and I'm not," he added of Johnson.
"I got to really make sure I get out of the gates quick." Despite his age 

Federer has 'low expectations' at Australian Open

Swiss great Roger Federer believes four-time Grand Slam champion Kim Clijsters can achieve "a lot" on her comeback after seven years out of the game, insisting age doesn't matter.
The 36-year-old Belgian, who retired after the 2012 US Open, is set for a return in March, having originally scheduled her comeback at next week's Australian Open until a knee injury scuppered the plan.
Federer said he had not seen Clijsters swing a racquet in years but "knowing what she could do before, seeing her and her personality, if she is coming back, it's because she's really in the mood to".
"She wants to see what else is left to do," he added. "I think age doesn't matter, to be honest. I think it's the fitness and the mind that matters.
"So I think a lot is possible, even though there should be no expectations from her side and from anybody else." Clijsters, affectionally known as 'Aussie Kim' in Australia due to her former relationship with Lleyton Hewitt, has won 41 titles, including three US ...

Manchester United defender Ashley Young has signed for Italian club Inter Milan on a six-month deal with an option for a further season, the Serie A club confirmed on Friday.
The 34-year-old, whose contract with the Premier League club expired in June has completed a move reported to be worth 1.5 million euros ($1.6 million) plus bonuses.
Young spent the past eight-and-a-half seasons at Old Trafford since arriving from Aston Villa in 2011 for around 20 million pounds ($26 million).
"My message to the fans is that success is coming back to the club," said Young of the northern Italian giants who have not won Serie A since 2010.
"That's why I'm here, I want to help the team reach its objectives.
"Everything's in place to do well. We hope to make the fans happy and win lots of trophies," he added.
"You gave me the chance to play with legends, to win trophies, to work under the greatest manager in history and to be your captain," Young tweeted in a farewell message to United.

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro's pledge to open up the Amazon to mining companies was tantamount to "genocide", indigenous leaders said Friday at a meeting to oppose the government's environmental policies.
Hundreds of elders gathered this week at Pairacu, deep in the rainforest, to form a united front against Bolsonaro's environmental policies, which have seen deforestation in the jungle nearly double since the Brazilian leader came to power a year ago.
"Our aim was to join forces and denounce the fact that the Brazilian government's political policy of genocide, ethnocide and ecocide is under way," the group said in a draft manifesto drawn up at the end of the summit.
"We do not accept mining on our lands, loggers, illegal fishermen or hydroelectricity. We are opposed to anything that destroys the forest," the text said.
They also said that "government threats and hate speech" had encouraged violence against Amazon communities and demanded punishment for the murder of indigenous

China and Myanmar are set to ink mammoth infrastructure deals following a meeting on Saturday between President Xi Jinping and fallen rights icon Aung San Suu Kyi, who pledged to stand with Beijing "till the end of the world".
The Chinese leader's two-day state visit to Myanmar's purpose-built capital comes as Western investors cast a wide berth around the country due to the Rohingya crisis.
A 2017 military crackdown on the mainly Muslim minority, which UN investigators have called genocide, forced some 740,000 Rohingya over the border into Bangladesh.  Beijing has stood strong with Myanmar despite the condemnation.
After arriving Friday Xi called the visit a "historical moment" for relations between the two neighbours, according to state-run newspaper the Global New Light of Myanmar.
He also touched on the "unfairness and inequality in international relations" in what could be seen as a slight against the United States, which has sanctioned Myanmar army chief Min Aung Hlaing.

An avalanche in Nepal's Annapurna region has left at least seven people missing, including four South Koreans and three Nepalis, officials said Saturday.
The incident occurred at an altitude of around 3,230 metres (10,597 feet) close to the base camp for Annapurna, one of the highest peaks in the Himalayas, following heavy snowfall on Friday.
"We are getting reports that four South Koreans and three Nepalis are out of contact after the incident. A rescue team was dispatched last night," Mira Dhakal of Nepal's tourism department told AFP.
Local police chief Dan Bahadur Karki said poor weather was hampering rescue efforts.
"The team is on its way. We also have a helicopter on standby to take off if the weather improves," Karki said.
Annapurna is an avalanche-prone and technically difficult mountain and has a higher death rate than Everest, the world's highest peak.
Education officials in South Korea said the four were part of a team of volunteer teachers working with children in ...

Panama has sent police reinforcements to a remote indigenous village where locals have been left "terrorized" by the alleged religious sacrifice of six children and a pregnant woman, authorities said on Friday.
"Right now special forces are heading" to the Terron community in Ngabe Bugle department on Panama's Caribbean coast around 250 kilometers from Panama City, said Enrique Martinez, police chief for neighboring Veraguas province.
A mass grave containing the remains of a pregnant woman and six children aged from one to 17 was found on Thursday. They had wounds consistent with being beaten.
It was discovered a day after police raided an obscure religious sect allegedly involved in brutal exorcisms, arresting 10 people and rescuing 15 others.
Police believe the victims were "tortured and sacrificed" and that the other 15 people would have been, too.
The police units, who will be flown in by helicopter, will "provide security and tranquility to this humble population, which is ...

Ken Starr, who was at the center of Bill Clinton's impeachment in the 1990s, and America's biggest celebrity lawyer Alan Dershowitz were announced Friday to be joining President Donald Trump's Senate impeachment defense.
The administration has yet to unveil the full team but confirmed that White House counsel Pat Cipollone will be lead lawyer, backed by Trump's personal attorney Jay Sekulow.
"President Trump has done nothing wrong and is confident that this team will defend him, the voters, and our democracy from this baseless, illegitimate impeachment," the White House said in a statement Friday evening.
But where Cipollone is ultra-discreet, and rarely speaks on the record, Dershowitz and Starr will bring the legal world's equivalent of rock stardom when the trial begins on Tuesday.
US media reports said Starr, the special prosecutor in the 1998 Clinton impeachment saga, was joining the Trump legal team. He is a hero to many on the right, even if Clinton ultimately was acquitted in .

Thirteen months on from the match that finally drew the curtain on Jose Mourinho's time in charge of Manchester United, the Red Devils again find themselves living in Liverpool's shadow ahead of their return to Anfield on Sunday.
A 3-1 defeat for Mourinho's men last December that left United 19 points behind Liverpool at the top of the table was the final straw for the club's decision makers.
But over a year on, little progress has been made under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Defeat this weekend will see the gulf between the teams grow to 30 points with Liverpool also having a game in hand to come over fifth-placed United.
As a player, Solskjaer was used to having the upper hand in the rivalry between English football's two most successful sides.

Rickie Fowler fired an eagle and six birdies in an eight-under par 64 on Friday to grab a share of the halfway lead alongside Scottie Scheffler in the US PGA Tour event at La Quinta, California.
The top duo in the pro-am event held on three courses in the Southern California desert were tied on 15-under par 129, one stroke in front of American Andrew Landry (64), with American Tony Finau two shots back after a storming 10-under par 62.
"These courses are scoreable, but I feel like it's a fine line between playing well and kind of scraping by," said Fowler, who is playing the tournament for the first time in six years.
"I've done a good job of just kind of picking my way around," added Fowler, who played the Jack Nicklaus Tournament Course, which like the other two in use, La Quinta Country Club and the Stadium Course, is a par-72.
"Two out of three courses down, looking forward to playing the Stadium tomorrow," he said of the course that will also host round four on Sunday.

Former Juventus striker Pietro Anastasi, who scored in Italy's 1968 European Championship final victory over Yugoslavia, has died at the age of 71, the Turin club announced Friday.
"Today is a sad day for Juventus, Italian football and for all those who knew him.
Pietro Anastasi has left us at the age of 71," said the Italian champions in a statement.
Anastasi spent eight seasons with Juventus, playing in three league title winning teams.
He scored 130 goals in 303 games during his stay before moving on to Inter Milan, Ascoli and Lugano where he ended his career in 1982.
Anastasi played 25 times for Italy and scored in the 2-0 victory over Yugoslavia in the 1968 European Championship final.

Marseille struck three times in the final 15 minutes to overcome fourth-tier Granville 3-0 in the last 32 of the French Cup on Friday.
Alvaro Gonzalez, Nemanja Radonjic and Dimitri Payet all scored for Marseille after Granville were reduced to 10 men following the dismissal of William Sea.
Marseille have won the French Cup on 10 occasions -- second only to Paris Saint-Germain (12) -- but haven't lifted the trophy since 1989.
They were dumped out of the competition in the round of 64 last season by fourth-division Andrezieux, and only narrowly avoided a similar upset earlier this month when they beat Trelissac on penalties.
Pau, who play in the third tier, knocked out Ligue 1 club Bordeaux on Thursday with a 3-2 victory after extra time.

Michael Gregoritsch was delighted to score and set up a goal on his Schalke debut as Borussia Moenchengladbach's German title hopes were dented by a 2-0 defeat in Gelsenkirchen on Friday.
"That's how you dream of your debut going," said Gregoritsch as the Bundesliga returned after a four-week winter break.
"The fact that it worked so well is great and something very special for me."
Gregoritsch, who joined last month on loan from Augsburg until the end of the season, shone up front as Schalke moved up to fourth place, level on 33 points with third-placed Bayern Munich, who they play away next weekend.
Like Bayern, Schalke are now four points behind league leaders RB Leipzig, who host mid-table Union Berlin on Saturday.
"We weren't good enough to cause Schalke trouble," admitted Moenchengladbach captain and goalkeeper Yann Sommer.
"We didn't find the room and weren't fast enough. Schalke were clearly better. They put a lot of pressure on us." Schalke earned a goalless draw in ...

Pep Guardiola will not watch "unstoppable" Liverpool's game with Manchester United this weekend because the gap between the Premier League leaders and his Manchester City side is too big.
Guardiola insists his City players still deserve credit for the way they have played this season, even though they go into their clash with Crystal Palace on Saturday trailing 14 points behind Liverpool.
He admits that he is now interested only in securing a top-four finish and chasing honours in three cup competitions rather than events at Anfield involving Liverpool.
"We are far away, they are unstoppable in those terms. We've dropped points, we conceded and didn't win games," Guardiola told reporters on Friday.
"This game is about the results and I'm glad we continue to attack quite well but the reality is the reality. They've won 20 of 21 games and they'd be leading all the leagues around the world.
"It would be nice to focus on Wilfried Zaha and Crystal Palace, and then Tuesday we have Sheffield

Iran's football federation said Friday it has been banned from hosting international matches inside the country.
The "federation received a letter today from the Asian Football Confederation... announcing the decision to hold AFC Champions League matches hosted by Iranian teams in neutral countries," said a statement on the federation's website.
An extraordinary meeting was immediately held to address the situation and the managers of the four clubs representing Iran in the tournament will be consulted on Saturday, it added.
Those teams are Persepolis, Esteghlal, Sepahan and Shahr Khodro.
"The final position of Iranian clubs and the federation will be announced in the following days".
The federation did not state the reason for the ban.
The federation's spokesman said Iran is prepared to host foreign teams and has guaranteed match security to the AFC, calling on the organisation to stand against any accusations stating otherwise.
"Iran has the full readiness to host teams and has ...

In the wake of ferocious bushfires that tore through Kangaroo Island, local farmer Rick Morris has endured the gruelling task of burying 400 sheep killed when most of his sprawling property went up in flames.
"It puts it in perspective to say that we're one of the lucky ones," he said.  Australia is reeling from bushfires that since September have claimed 28 lives, including two on Kangaroo Island, and razed 10 million hectares (25 million acres) of land -- an area larger than South Korea or Portugal.
Vast swathes of the burned land were used for grazing cattle and sheep, and officials believe the livestock toll exceeds 100,000 across Australia -- including at least 43,000 on Kangaroo Island alone, where farmers like Morris endured three blazes in just 10 days.
"We faced the full wrath of Mother Nature," he told AFP at his 930-hectare (2,300-acre) farm.
"The fire (swept) from the south side to the north side of the island and took no prisoners between... I'm amazed there were not more

Manchester United defender Ashley Young has signed for Inter Milan on a six-month deal with an option for a further season, the Serie A club confirmed on Friday.
"Ashley Young is officially an Inter player," the club said in a statement.
The 34-year-old underwent a medical in Milan on Friday before completing a deal reported to be worth 1.5 million euros ($1.6 million) plus bonuses.

Wicketkeeper Regis Chakabva says that Zimbabwe "have to enjoy" their first home Test since 2017 as the African nation return to five-day action against Sri Lanka after their recent suspension by the International Cricket Council.
The two-Test tour was only announced by the Sri Lankan cricket board earlier this week, with the first match to start in Harare on Sunday.
Zimbabwe were readmitted as an ICC member last October following a three-month suspension over political interference.
The Sri Lanka games will be their first Tests since a 1-1 series draw in Bangladesh in November 2018.
"It's always tough, going for that long between playing Tests, because you always want to play as often and as regularly as possible," Chakabva told cricbuzz.com.
"But unfortunately we haven't had that privilege really, so we just have to accept what is there and as tough as it is, when the next one comes you always have to enjoy it.
"I think for any youngster who's starting off and aspiring they ...

World number five Daniil Medvedev Saturday said he wouldn't be relying on a "lucky shower" to bring him good fortune as he bids to upset tennis's established order at the Australian Open.
The Russian, who won four titles last year and was runner-up at the US Open, is John McEnroe's tip as the man most likely to break the Big Three's stranglehold on the Major titles.
Medvedev has started the year strongly at the ATP Cup and said he was reinvigorated after feeling "burned out" towards the end of last season, when he took Rafael Nadal to five sets at Flushing Meadows.
"I felt that I needed some rest, (to) restart. Again, I had great five matches in ATP Cup, won four of them. Feeling great about my game and myself," he said.
According to McEnroe, Medvedev has the style and "cojones" to interrupt the march of Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Nadal, who have won all but two of the Australian Open titles since 2004.
The 23-year-old said it was an "honour" to be singled out by the American ..

No 'lucky shower' as Medvedev looks to clean up at Australian Open

Australian Open organisers Saturday introduced a scaled air quality rating to determine when play can be suspended following stinging criticism after days of toxic smoke during qualifying.
Air quality in Melbourne was among the worst on the planet on Tuesday and only marginally better Wednesday because of smoke from bushfires that have devastated huge swathes of the country.
It was recommended that people and their pets stay indoors, but qualifying for the opening Grand Slam of the year went ahead regardless.
Slovenian Dalila Jakupovic was forced to retire from her match after a distressing coughing fit, while Britain's Liam Broady claimed "multiple" players needed asthma medication.
Broady also was seething over what he considered a lack of clarity on the decision-making process about when to suspend play.
"The more I think about the conditions we played in a few days ago the more it boils my blood," he said.
In the wake of the backlash, organisers Saturday unveiled a five-step "air .
