Relatives discovered bodies of 4 family members, including two children, with gunshot wounds at home.

Police said relatives found the bodies of four family members, including two children, shot and wounded at their home in West Des Moines.

Authorities identified the victims as Lavanya Sunkara, 44, and Chandrasekhar Sunkara, 41, and two boys aged 15 and 10, according to a police press release. Autopsies were performed to determine the cause of death.

Real estate records indicate that the family owned the house since March.

West Des Moines Police Sgt Dan Wade said there was no threat to the community and that investigators were trying to determine exactly what had happened. The police said the parents who had discovered the bodies - as well as two adults and two children - stayed with the family as guests.
