KAMIAH, Idaho — Authorities are investigating a shooting that left three people dead at a rural motel in north-central Idaho on Monday evening.

Deputies were called to the motel around 5 p.m. Monday by someone who reported hearing shots fired. The sheriff's office said all three of the people who were shot appeared to know each other.

Officials have not yet released their names or ages.
