KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) - Police in Jamaica say gunmen broke into a home in the island's capital and killed two women and a man in their 20s. Detectives say a 19-year-old man was shot to death by police during a confrontation after officers arrived to investigate.

Authorities say a 9-milimeter pistol was recovered from the man killed by police.

There have been no arrests in the incident, which happened just after dawn Sunday in the Whitfield Town neighborhood of Kingston.
