Mysterious assassin in Memphis

Six people were killed, including two children, in a home Monday in Memphis, Tennessee, authorities said. Three other children were wounded.

The four dead adults were shot and the two children were stabbed, sources told CNN affiliate WMC-TV.

At least one of the wounded children also was stabbed, police told the Commercial Appeal newspaper.

Memphis Fire Department spokeswoman Melanie Young said firefighters responded to a 911 call at a home at 6:11 p.m. Monday and found the bodies and wounded children.

A 7-year-old boy, a 10-month-old girl and a 4-year-old whose gender wasn't immediately known were taken to Le Bonheur Children's Medical Center.

The Commercial Appeal newspaper said one child was upgraded to stable condition late Monday, another was upgraded to critical and the third was still in extremely critical condition.

Police do not know what was behind the violence, the newspaper reported.
