MADISON, Wis.—A Milwaukee man shot and killed five of his family members, including four teenagers, before calling police and saying “I just massacred my whole family,” according to a criminal complaint filed on April 30.

The Milwaukee County District Attorney’s office charged Christoper Stokes, 43, with five counts of first-degree homicide for the Monday attack. Each count carries a potential sentence of life in prison. He was also charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm.
