3 people found dead in Kentucky home

Three people were found dead in a house and a 12-year-old boy was shot in the face in what authorities said appeared to be a case of domestic violence.

The boy ran to a neighbor's house Sunday evening and said his mother and sister had been shot, police Chief Robert White said. Their bodies, along with the body of a man identified as the shooter, were found in the Louisville home.

"It appears to be a domestic situation," he said.

The boy, shot in the cheek, underwent surgery and was in serious condition Monday, police spokeswoman Alicia Smiley said.

"Until we have a chance to talk with him, we're not going to know the sequence of events," Smiley said.

The man found dead had apparently had a relationship with the mother, Smiley said.
