Five relatives were found dead in an Arizona home Thursday as the result of an apparent family dispute, the AP reports.

Authorities say three men and two women have been found dead inside a Phoenix home after a shooting.

Phoenix police say officers arrived at the home Thursday and SWAT team members used a megaphone to communicate with a person inside.

Witnesses say they heard the sound of muted gunshots about an hour later.

ABC reports one person, who was able to escape the house, called 911 and is "working with detectives to explain what happened."
