PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — Police say officers are investigating after a man shot and killed two people, two dogs and himself at a Florida home.
A roommate returned to the Port St. Lucie home Sunday night and discovered the dead people, according to a Port St. Lucie police news release.
The roommate left the house and called 911, officials said. Officers responded and found the three people and two pets dead from apparent gunshot wounds.

Officials said a 52-year-old man shot and killed a 33-year-old man, a 53-year-old woman and the two dogs before shooting and killing himself.
