PERU, Ind. (AP) - Authorities in central Indiana were investigating after three people were found fatally shot in a home.

The Miami County Sheriff's Office said deputies went to the Peru home on Friday evening and found three people dead from what appeared to be gunshot wounds.

A family member who wasn't able to get in touch with relatives had asked the sheriff's office to check on them, according to police.

The three victims' identifies were not released.

A message left Sunday for the sheriff's office wasn't immediately returned.

The sheriff's department, Indiana State Police and the Miami County Coroner's Office have launched a joint investigation.
