OTTAWA - A tragic incident has happened in the Nation's Capital.

Police were responding to a 9-1-1 call late last night (Wednesday, March 6th) on Berrigan Drive in Barrhaven, when they found the bodies of four children and two adults. There is a seventh person in hospital with serious injures.

Police Chief Eric Stubbs says this incident does not look to be one of intimate partner or domestic violence.

There is one man in custody, and Stubbs adds investigators are trying to determine the relationship between the suspect and victims.
