Kelly and Joshua Boren, ages 5 and 7 (source)
A Utah police officer, Joshua Boren, failed to show up at work, so his coworkers went to his home to investigate, in Spanish Fork, Utah.  They discovered him and four of his family shot to death in the home, apparently at his own hand.

He had killed his wife, Kelly Boren, his 7-year old son Joshua, his 5-year old daughter, Haley, and his 55-year old mother-in-law Marie King, before killing himself.

From an article, which has many other images and details:
Police said the five were found dead about 11pm when co-workers became concerned that Boren didn't show up for his night shift as a patrol officer at the Lindon Police Department. 
Officers who looked through the window saw blood on the carpet and shell casings in the front room of the two-story home, police said.  
After officers entered the home, they discovered 'a large quantity of blood on the stairway leading to the second floor of the residence,' police told KSL 
After officers entered the home, they discovered "a large quantity of blood on the stairway leading to the second floor of the residence."  
After officers entered the home, they discovered "a large quantity of blood on the stairway leading to the second floor of the residence."  
When they went inside, they found Boren's 55-year-old mother-in-law Marie King dead in a bedroom, and Joshua Boren and his immediate family dead in the bedroom next door.
