Police in Oklahoma said five members of a family were found stabbed to death in their Tulsa-area home and that two teenage relatives were in custody.

Broken Arrow police sergeant Thomas Cooper said police were called to a home late on Wednesday regarding an unknown problem, and found five people dead from stab wounds. A girl survived with wounds, and was taken to hospital in critical condition. Another child in the home was not harmed.

Cooper said at the scene on Thursday that the suspects were boys aged 16 and 18.

He said they fled the home before police arrived but that a tracking dog trailed them. Cooper said the victims and the detained teenagers were related.

Cooper also said Broken Arrow typically only sees one or two homicides every couple of years.
