Seven people, including three adults and four children, were killed in a massive shoot incident Friday at a farm near the Margaret River (Margaret River) in southwest Western Australia, the Daily Mail and Australian News Network reported. The killer, suspected to be a grandfather in the family, killed himself after shooting his wife, daughter and four grandsons.
It is reported that three adults and four children were killed in a serious shoot case at a farm in (Osmington), Western Australia, early Friday morning, alarmed by the incident. This is Australia`s worst large-scale (Port Arthur) incident since the 1996 (Port Arthur) massacre in Port Arthur.
Police believe this is a murder-suicide case. Police are now focusing on the owner of the farm, Peter (Peter Miles). He is the husband of the deceased Sinda (Cynda Miles), Katrina (Katrina Miles) `s father and the grandfather of four children.

Police are investigating whether he called the police at 05:15 and then shot his family and committed suicide.
It is reported that the family who was killed moved from (Margaret River), Margaret River, to (Osmington)., Austin, about three years ago. Many local residents know them and are impressed by their efforts in volunteering and philanthropy. Sinda is often involved in community activities, while Peter is known to many for his successful farm maintenance business.
The four children, aged between 8 and 13, were and are autistic, former or present (Margaret River Primary School) students at Margaret River Elementary School, who also taught themselves at home and were counselled by their mother Katrina.
Katrina`s marriage to the child`s father, Kirkman (Aaron Cockman), broke down and has become estranged. Although she said on Facebook last month that her ex-husband had been following her, authorities said Kirkman was not a suspect.
It is reported that after the incident, police found two guns at the scene, at least one of the victims with gunshot wounds. The police are still investigating, and the investigation is expected to last about five days. At this stage, the police have not searched for other suspects.
