BAKERSFIELD, Calif. -- An unborn child is dead and four family members are in stable condition Thursday evening after a brutal attack in their home, police said.

Around 4:30 a.m. Thursday, the Bakersfield Police Department received a report of a shooting at a house in the 1400 block of Antonia Way.

A 14-year-old in the home called 911 after finding Anthony Walker, 49, and a pregnant Marisha Walker, 40, along with two 6-year-old kids suffering from several gunshots wounds in a bedroom, police reported.

The four other children in the home were not injured, police said.

Doctors at Kern Medical Center said Anthony was shot eight times and Marisha was shot four times, one of which passed through her stomach and hit her unborn baby. A 6-year-old boy was shot twice, and another 6-year-old girl was shot in the foot.

The BPD at this time isn't releasing much information in their investigation and won't say whether the attack was a domestic dispute -- or was the result of an intruder.

Surgeons at KMC said the mother was about 7.5 months pregnant, meaning if the child had been born prematurely, he would have a 90 percent survival rate, but a bullet hit the unborn boy in the hip, and surgeons said he was dead on arrival, so they delivered him as a stillborn.

After three of the people hit went through intense surgery Thursday morning, all four are in stable condition, and are expected to survive.

The BPD hasn't released any details on a motive, a weapon, or a suspect.

Neighbors said the family had just moved into the home about two months ago. They say they were a large family with a dozen or so kids, aged from teenagers to toddlers.

The shooting shocked the neighborhood, but ABC23 was able to talk to family members at KMC Thursday afternoon who said it's a blessing they survived.

Charles Killebrew, who is married to the Anthony's sister said, he feels the family believes the shooter was an intruder and said the crime in itself was horrific, but to shoot the children was devastating.

Killebrew said, "It's a sad thing, the children have to go through this and then the little one is gone. And the little one is in heaven."

Killebrew said they are a close-knit family and the couple has been together a long time, raising some of his children, and growing their family.
