HESSTON, Kan. (AP) — Authorities say three people found shot to death outside a rural home in central Kansas were targeted and not victims of a murder-suicide. Harvey County Sheriff T. Walton says the victims found Sunday were a 37-year-old woman and two men aged 33 and 52. Walton says the two younger victims were a couple who were friends with the other man. Their names haven't been released. Walton says a passing motorist reported seeing bodies on the driveway of the home in Harvey County, and that there didn't appear to have been a struggle. The sheriff says an 18-month-old child found unharmed inside the home is now in the custody of relatives. There has been no word about arrests or charges. The Kansas Bureau of Investigation is assisting in the investigation.
