Six bloodied bodies riddled with gunshot wounds were found in a remote community in the California desert, police said Wednesday.

San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department deputies were called to the small desert community of El Mirage around 8:15 p.m. Tuesday night to perform a welfare check when they made the horrifying discovery.

The six deceased individuals were part of a remote community just off the scenic Highway 395 between Lake Los Angeles and Adelanto, KABC reported.

Officials initially indicated there were five victims, however, during their investigation a sixth body was found at the scene, San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department spokesperson Mara Rodriguez said during a morning news conference. 

All of the victims had suffered gunshot wounds, though the circumstances surrounding their deaths were not immediately clear, Victor Valley News Group reported.

“We have not confirmed the sex or the age of any of the decedents at this point,” Rodriguez said. 

Bodies of multiple bloodied people could be seen laid on the ground surrounded by evidence markers used by investigators. 

Some of the bodies also appeared to be burned, KTLA reported. 

Two vehicles could be seen in the brush behind the crime scene, one of which was riddled with bullet holes and had some of its windows blown out. 

Police have not made any arrests relating to the deaths, nor have they released the identities of the victims.

It’s unclear if the people were fatally shot at the scene or if their bodies were left there later. 

The Post has contacted the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department requesting additional information.
