"Any day is a terrible day to have a tragedy but to have a tragedy on Christmas, it’s a memory that (the remaining family) will have forever unfortunately,” says Sergeant Jahns.
Multiple neighbors say the victims include a mother, father and two adult children.
“(They were) very nice people, they are just one big family. They were always there to help each other out,” says neighbor Lora Picoled.
