By Michael Winter, USA TODAY

A shooting and fire at an east Hollywood home has left two people dead, including the suspected gunman, and three others wounded, Los Angeles officials say.
Update at 7:05 p.m. ET: The bodies of the suspected gunman and another person were found in the charred remains of an east Hollywood home that burned down this afternoon, Los Angeles authorities now say.
Police say the shootings involved a domestic dispute.
Three people who were wounded are expected to live.
No identities yet for the dead and wounded.
Original post: At least three people were shot at a burning home in Hollywood, according to news reports. Firefighters found a body outside that may be a fourth victim or the gunman.
The wounded, a 34-year-old man and two 38-year-old women, were hospitalized in serious condition, the Associated Press reports.
KTLA-TV says shots were reported about 1 p.m. PT (4 p.m. ET). When firefighters arrived, the one-story house was smoking, and the fire quickly consumed the rear. Police provided cover while firefighters poured water from a distance. A neighboring apartment building and other homes were evacuated.
The fire may have started in a detached garage, authorities said. The house was destroyed.
