Three dead in Poway

Three people are dead in Poway after a San Diego County sheriff’s deputy shot and killed a gunman who was suspected of killing a man and a woman in neighborhood dispute.

Two deputies came to the slain couple’s home about 6 p.m. after reports of gunshots. They confronted an armed man outside the home. He was fatally shot by one of the deputies. It is unknown whether the man fired at the deputy.

Inside the home, the deputy  found the couple shot to death. Neighbors said there had been a longstanding dispute between the suspect and the couple.
