GILBERT, Ariz. (AP) - Police are testing an unknown liquid found in 55-gallon drums in the backyard of a home where five people are dead after a shooting.

Officers are staying out of the home in a Phoenix suburb while a hazardous materials crew samples the liquid as a precautionary measure.

The victims and the shooter have not been identified. Police say the shooter is dead, but they aren't sure whether he committed suicide.
