<p> Seven people who police believe to be related, were found apparently shot to death in a Dallas-area apartment on Christmas Day, and authorities say they believe the shooter is among the dead.</p>.<p>The four women and three men were all found in an adjoining kitchen and living room area when police entered the apartment shortly after 11:30am (local time), said Grapevine Police Sgt. Robert Eberling. Two handguns were found inside the apartment, he added.<br />"It appears to be they're all related. It appears all the victims are deceased from gunshot wounds," Eberling said.<br /><br />The victims haven't been identified yet, Eberling added, but they all are adults.<br />"We are pretty confident that the shooter is among the deceased victims inside the apartment. We are not actively looking for a shooter that we believe is at large," he added.<br />Police and firefighters rushed to the scene after receiving an open-ended emergency call at about 11:30am, Eberling said.<br /><br />"There was an open line. No one was saying anything," he explained, so police entered the apartment.<br /><br />It remains unclear whether the victims were celebrating Christmas when the shooting began. Eberling said officers are awaiting a search warrant before conducting a more thorough investigation.</p>
