Three men were killed and two injured in a drug-related shooting in the US city of Houston.
Police said they found three bodies Wednesday, two in their 20s and the third in his 50s, at a home in southeast Houston, Xinhua reported.
A police officer also said that neighbours heard gunshots and saw as many as four African-American men fleeing from the scene. Local residents also said that the home is a known "drug house" and had been robbed Monday.
"The incident had all the signs of a narcotics robbery, and the victims were possibly killed while selling drugs," the officer said.
