estern Australia Police officers were called to a rural property in Osmington, around 20 kilometres north-east of Margaret River, at around 5:15am local time on Friday.

Five adults were found inside the property and two other bodies were discovered outside in what police described as a shed that had been converted into living quarters.

Two firearms were also found at the scene.

Detectives from the Homicide Squad and Forensic Crime Unit are at the scene as part of the investigation.

The ages of the children and the adults have not yet been revealed.

Well well well.

I thought Australia didn't have mass shootings any more, ever since they banned most of the guns.

It turns out that two firearms were found at the scene.

The only solution to Australian lawmakers? BAN MULTIPLE FIREARMS POSSESSION.

They had no guns to protect themselves — they had no Bill of Rights.

The Aussies I have seen on social media sites have certainly been quite smug about their superiority on gun control issues.

Trust me, they will find a way to twist this into more gun control.

Isn’t hildabeast down under currently? Any connection? I didn’t see an AR mentioned so does that mean that oberstormfurher hogg will NOT be jetting to Australia? Is he too busy writing his anti gun book due out next month? Where does he find the time.

Can’t have more gun control laws in a country that basically bans private ownership of guns.

Better ban firearms again, Australia. Just keep banning them over and over until it works.

“Five adults were found inside the property and two other bodies were discovered outside”

The excerpt gives me a headache with the math. Five adults inside and two more bodies outside, but four of the dead were children

I bet they used a shot gun.

That would leave a big mark.
