The suspect was also killed during the chase following the tragic events that unfolded on Saturday night, NBC News reported.
The deceased are aged between 1 and 14 years old, police said. Two women sustained gunshot wounds to the head but have managed to survive. A young boy was also hurt after leaping from a rooftop.
