BROKEN ARROW, Okla. (AP) – Five people were found dead inside a well-kept suburban Tulsa home and two teenagers related to each of the victims have been taken into custody, police said Thursday.

Police Sgt. Thomas Cooper said officers were summoned to a Broken Arrow subdivision about 11:30 p.m. Wednesday for an unknown problem. Police found five bodies inside the home, plus a child in critical condition and another child who did not appear wounded, Cooper said in a statement.

Two relatives aged 16 and 18 were taken into custody, Cooper said.

Cooper provided no details about how the victims were killed and police at the scene would not release information.

Broken Arrow is on the Arkansas River just southeast of Tulsa and the home is in a well-established neighborhood surrounded on three sides by the Indian Springs Country Club.
