The bodies of three adults and two children were found in a northwest Calgary home Wednesday morning, police said.

 

Calgary police Insp. Frank Reuser said three adults believed to be in their 30s and two children, ages four and six, were found dead around 10 a.m. MT. A one-year-old girl was found unharmed, and police said she is the care of social services and doing "very well."

 

Reuser said it will be three to four hours before the homicide unit would be able to obtain a warrant to enter the home, and no cause of death would be released until that investigation was complete.

 

At least six police cars and an ambulance rushed to the home at the 5500 block of Dalhart Hill N.W., in the community of Dalhousie.

 

"We were called here by a couple who came to check on the welfare of the occupants of the house," said Reuser, a 35-year veteran of the force who was visibly upset by the events.

 

Reuser said the bodies were found throughout the home and none of the deaths were from natural causes. The major crimes unit has been dispatched to the scene, the police spokesman said.

 

Emergency workers to get counselling

All the emergency personnel who arrived at the scene first, including paramedics and police, have been sent for counselling to deal with what they saw inside.

 

"It’s not something that we’re comfortable in dealing with," he said, his voice breaking as he said that five officers had been sent for counselling.

 

He said it was "not a very pleasant crime scene."

 

Police said the victims' identities would not be released until police were able to contact immediate relatives.

 

Reuser said police were not sure about the relationship between the victims. He also said he believed there was no public safety concern at this time.

 

'We don't get that much action on this street, and then all of a sudden, there were two police cars, then three and then four.'

—Neighbour Mia AlbinoNeighbour Mia Albino told CBC News that a family of two adults and three children had lived on the quiet street for at least three years.

 

"It's very shocking for me," she said. "We don't get that much action on this street, and then all of a sudden, there were two police cars, then three and then four."

 

She described the family as normal, noting that her son had played soccer with the children at school on Tuesday.

 

"We don't know them really well. They were nice, really friendly. We saw them at community events," she said.

 

Calgary police have not released any further details. The medical examiner and coroner are on the scene.
