Cleveland, July 9 (AP/UNB) — Police investigating the shooting death of a man in a vacant lot in Cleveland say they also found the bodies of a woman and two children in a nearby house.

Authorities aren't saying how the three found inside the house Tuesday died, but they did say the four deaths are connected.

Cleveland's police chief says investigators are looking for several people of interest and that they are following multiple leads in the shooting on the city's east side.

Police Chief Calvin Williams would not release any information about the ages of the victims or how they may have been related. He says their relatives were still being notified.

Several family members had gathered outside the house and were crying and hugging. One man was heard yelling, "My son, my son."
