A Washington State SWAT team found four people dead inside a man's home after he called police to say he'd fatally shot four people, authorities and news organizations are reporting.

A handout photo provided by the Mason County Sheriff's Office onFeb. 26, 2016, shows police officers at the scene on a shooting near Belfair, Mason County, Wash.

The man then shot and killed himself outside the home near Belfair, Wash., in front of deputies, according to KING5.

The office of Mason County, Wash., Sheriff Casey Salisbury confirmed the deaths.

The potential victims included the man's wife, his two children and someone else, KING5 reported.

A teen girl who survived and was not seriously hurt was taken to a hospital for evaluation, according to KING5.

The man called police Friday morning to say he'd shot and killed two children, a woman and another person, but law enforcement had not confirmed Friday afternoon whether the bodies they found inside the man's home corresponded with the people he said he'd killed, the Times reported.

"It's a terrible tragedy," Mason County, Wash., Sheriff Casey Salisbury told the Times.

Belfair is west of Seattle, about 68 driving miles away.
