Police have arrested a suspect in last night's horrific Marquette Park shooting that left four dead and two injured. The shooting occurred at the family's house in the 7200 block of South Mozart St, according to WGN. The suspect hasn't been named but told police he heard voices that told him to kill his family. According to the Tribune:

The children were the 7-month-old son of the gunman, his 3-year-old niece and his 16-year-old niece, who a friend said was four months pregnant. The fourth victim was a 30-year-old woman identified by family members as the gunman's wife.

The woman and her 7-month-old son were found in a bed with gunshot wounds to their heads, police said. In another bedroom, the 16-year-old was found in bed with the 3-year-old girl.

Police have recovered a gun but haven't confirmed if it's the gun that was used in the shooting. Chicago Lawn District Police Commander John Kupczyk told reporters, “It’s really horrendous. Something like this is pretty incomprehensible.”
