The children’s mother made the grisly discovery in the city of Lancaster, California shortly after 10.30pm, with the kids’ father later turning himself in to police, Fox affiliate KTTV reported Monday.

Germarcus David, 29, is being held on $2 million bail after being hit with multiple homicide charges by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, the outlet reported.
Deputies answering a “rescue responding” call at the home found the grandmother suffering from gunshot wounds to her torso.
They then found the children — three boys and a girl — with similar wounds.
All five victims were pronounced dead, KTTV said.
David was questioned for several hours before he was charged, the sheriff’s office said.
Homicide detectives were still at the scene Monday morning but have not released the names of the victims, or a motive for the shootings.
