They were just discussing this on Fox News. It sounds like children, perhaps as young as 4, may be among the victims.
Amish ping?

I love that label. It's almost as silly as "handicapable".

LEOLA, Pennsylvania (AP) -- Police checking on a home in a tiny southeast Pennsylvania town discovered a gruesome scene: six bodies, some wrapped in sheets and blankets in the basement, and blood, bone fragments and a hammer upstairs, authorities said Thursday.
(snip)
Jessie L. Wise, 60, the owner, was in New York and told the friend he was worried because he hadn't heard from his family since Friday, authorities said.
I read somewhere that finding the bodies already covered usually indicates a familial or other close relationship with the victim. I can't remember where though, so don't hold me to that
Fox News
News conference on...
Arrest has been made. [Missed who because Bridgette Quinn was mouthing instead of showing the conference.]
Victims were apparently cousins.
2 daughters [adult children of grandmother?] [aunts/mothers of the 2 sons?]
2 sons [grandchildren?]
Emily (grandmother)
[Didn't catch who the 6th victim is]
Weapon found (not identied as gun or knife)
Killings were apparently last weekend.
All victims found in basement [wasn't there a body in the back yard?]
Grandfather was out of state, returned to the area.
Seems any 'details' will be a news release that is yet to be issued.
FoxReporter said 'instrument' (weapon) may have been a hammer that has been recovered.
[Even FoxReporter missed the police saying who the 6th victim was.]
1 Boy may have been 5 years old.

Not much info on who was arrested.

FoxNews rerunning the start of the news conference:
Jesse Wise, age 21, charged with 6 counts. [Jesse is also the name of the grandfather]
No indication of any connection of the guy arrested to the family.
FoxReporter: Blood splatter upstairs on walls and downstairs. Vicious crime scene.
