PORTERVILLE, Calif. (AP) — Authorities in California have confirmed a fifth death in a shooting of tribal members on an Indian reservation.

Tulare County sheriff's spokeswoman Chris Douglass says Sunday that an 8-year-old girl is among four family members killed by her father. She was identified as Alyssa Celaya.

Authorities say 31-year-old Hector Celaya also killed his mother and her two brothers and wounded Alyssa's brother and sister, then died in a shootout with police.
