BOZEMAN, Mont. — Authorities are investigating after three people were found dead in a home east of Bozeman.

The Gallatin County Sheriff’s Office says deputies discovered the bodies when they went to the home at about 5 p.m. Friday after someone called 911 and hung up. Investigators say there is no reason to believe there is any threat to the public.

Gallatin County Sheriff Brian Gootkin told the Bozeman Daily Chronicle only that deputies are investigating a “serious situation.” He declined to release any other information until Saturday morning.
