Washington, March 24 (IANS) Five people of Chinese origin were found dead inside a house in the western US port city of San Francisco. Police termed the multiple homicide as a "gun-related murder-suicide" case.
The case was reported Friday when a family member visited the two-storey house near the City College of San Francisco and found three bodies, Xinhua reported.
