IRVINE, Ky. (AP) — Police say three men accused of being armed robbery suspects were shot at a home in eastern Kentucky.

A statement from Kentucky State Police says one man was pronounced dead at the scene and two others were taken to the University of Kentucky Hospital in Lexington with life-threatening wounds. Police say an initial investigation found that three armed men entered an occupied home near Irvine around midnight Tuesday and an altercation occurred that included multiple gunshots. The two occupants inside the home weren’t injured and no charges were immediately filed.

Police say more information may be released as it becomes available.
