Katlynn was described as being white, 5 feet 6, white, around 150 pounds, with dark eyes and strawberry blond hair.
Fullerton police Sgt. Jon Radus also said in a statement, per the O.C. Register, that "all of the bodies had obvious signs of trauma," but did not specify the cause of death.
Neighbors told CBS L.A. that the child who called 9-1-1 was in the fourth grade, and that the family was "social," and would throw parties and sit outside at night. Another woman told the Register that someone had reported hearing gunshots on Friday night.
