GILBERT, AZ - Authorities are investigating a shooting that involves five victims in a residential neighborhood.

Police say the victims are four adults and one child.

The gunman was among the dead.

Gilbert police Lt. John Lyle says authorities aren't looking for a suspect in Wednesday afternoon's shooting at a home.

Authorities say the gunman's identity and motives aren't immediately known. The names of the other four dead haven't been released.

The shootings occurred after 1 p.m. in a residential area.

The Arizona Republic reports that a junior high school in the area was released from lockdown status just before 2 p.m. Witnesses say a SWAT team sealed off part of the area and that investigators told residents to remain indoors.
