Police are investigating a shooting that left three southwestern Idaho people dead in Meridian after a standoff.
Prior to the shooting, Meridian police say a 39-year-old man arrived at the home and a fight started between him and a 47-year-old male and a 40-year-old woman. The suspect shot and killed the man and woman inside the house with a handgun.
During the fight, a 13-year-old girl escaped the house and ran to a neighbor’s house, calling for help. The suspect remained inside the home with an 11-year-old girl and a 10-year-old girl. During negotiations with police, the suspect released the 11-year-old and later released the 10-year-old.
After releasing the children hostages, the suspect killed himself inside the home.
