A Durham Police spokesman said the four dead people were related or known to each other and they were not looking for anyone else. A fifth person, a woman believed to be related to one of the victims, is being treated for shotgun injuries at North Tees Hospital in Stockton. Forensic investigation Firearms officers were called to the scene after a caller reported that a number of people had been shot inside a semi-detached house. The victims' bodies were found in different rooms in the downstairs of the house, and paramedics confirmed all four were dead at the scene.
