Three Bodies Found In Tacoma House

TACOMA - Three people were found slain Wednesday in a house, a police spokeswoman said.

The dead - two men and a woman believed to be in their 20s - were found mid-afternoon by a friend, police spokeswoman Tracy Conaway said.

The friend knocked on the door, and when there was no answer, found the door was unlocked and went inside. The friend found the bodies and called police just before 4 p.m., she said.

"We can't rule out whether we have the homicide of the three folks or a murder suicide type thing," Conaway said.

She declined to provide details but said later that police did not think the violence was random.

The victims were not identified as of late Wednesday night.

The house is located near Sixth and Union, a busy corner a couple of blocks south of the University of Puget Sound campus in Tacoma's North End.
