SMITH MILLS, Ky. (AP) — State police say three people were fatally shot, including one by a self-inflicted gunshot, at a home in western Kentucky.

Officers found two gunshot victims outside the home. One, a woman, was already dead.

Four children were removed from the home by police, and after that, a third person was found dead inside from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
