CHICAGO (AP) – The Latest on six people found dead in a house on Chicago’s South Side (all times local):

9:15 p.m.

Police say they believe six people found dead inside a Chicago home were killed in a “targeted incident,” though they’re still trying to determine a possible motive.

Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi (goo-lee-EHL’-mee) said Friday night the killings could have occurred during a robbery or a domestic incident. He says it’s also possible someone in the home “was involved in something that could have targeted them.”

Officers found the bodies of six family members – two men, two women and two children – in the house they shared on Thursday.
