BROKEN ARROW —Two teenage brothers allegedly stabbed to death three younger siblings and both of their parents late Wednesday in what police have termed an "unprecedented" family tragedy in a quiet community.

An open line on an emergency phone call led Broken Arrow police to the grisly scene, where the bloodied bodies of the five victims were found inside the home. A critically wounded sixth victim — a 13-year-old girl — was pulled outside and whisked away to a hospital. A 2-year-old girl was located inside but uninjured.

Police identified the parents as David Bever, 52, and his wife, April, 44. The names of the children were not released.
