The suspected gunman, a man, is believed to be among the dead inside a home on Headen Way in the city's upscale Rivermark community north of the Montague Expressway, said Santa Clara police Lt. Phil Cooke.
"We do believe this appears to be a family-on-family murder-suicide," Cooke said.
The identities of the victims weren't immediately released.
Police were called to the home at about 8:30 p.m. Sunday by a neighbor reporting that a woman was injured outside the home, Cooke said. Officers arrived and found five people dead inside the home, Cooke said. All had been shot.
Two of the dead were men, one of whom was believed to be the gunman, Cooke said. The other slain victims were children, including a boy, a girl and a young teenage girl or young adult woman, police said.
The woman found outside the home had also been shot, Cooke said. She was taken to a local hospital, where she was reported to be in critical condition.
An infant girl found injured at the home died early today, Cooke said.
Two handguns were found inside the residence, but police are awaiting the results of ballistics tests before determining whether one or both weapons were used, authorities said.
Police had no previous reports of problems at the home, Cooke said. Authorities would not disclose a motive or say whether any notes were found.
Santa Clara, a city of 108,000, is usually immune to the kind of gun violence that has plagued other communities.
But in November, an engineer who was fired from his job returned to the firm and shot and killed three colleagues at SiPort, a startup that makes wireless chips.
The latest tragedy has shaken the Silicon Valley city anew and is prompting city leaders to urge community members to look out for each other.
"Certainly it is a grievous tragedy, and the city's thoughts and prayers are with the families of the victims," Santa Clara Mayor Patricia Mahan said today. "Words just can't describe the enormity of the tragedy."
She added, "When things get tough in life, in the world, it seems that these kinds of incidents erupt, and I would just urge all of our community to pay attention to your neighbors. So often the greatest regret is the feeling that this could have been prevented if somebody had seen something or someone could have intervened in some way."
