WINTER PARK, Fla. – Three people were found dead at a home in central Florida, sheriff’s officials said.

The bodies were found late Monday as deputies responded to reports of shots being fired in an unincorported area near Winter Park, the Seminole County Sheriff's Office said in a news release.

Investigators said it appears that two people were fatally shot by a family friend who was staying at the home. That person died of a self-inflicted gun shot.

News4JAX sister station WKMG reported that a 17-year-old who was in the house crawled out a window to safety.

Sheriff's officials said they expected to release the names of the victims later Tuesday.

Winter Park is near Orlando.
