The Commercial Appeal newspaper is reporting that police do not have a motive.
"We just don't know the motive or cause of death, but we do have four adults and two children (dead)," Memphis police Lt. Jerry Guin said. "I've been on a scene where there were one or two or three (victims), but I don't remember anything this large."
