Shooting kills three in San Francisco, suspect found dead (06-28) 19:57 PDT SAN FRANCISCO (AP) --
Three people were killed and another critically injured when a man opened fire in the lobby of a residential hotel Saturday, police said.
The suspect, who lived at the hotel in the city's Tenderloin District, was later found dead in his room, apparently from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to authorities.
The shooting at the Dalt Hotel apparently followed an argument there earlier in the day, San Francisco police Sgt. Neville Gittens told KCBS radio. Details remained unclear.
Two victims were pronounced dead at the scene and a third died at a local hospital, Gittens said. He said a fourth victim was in critical condition. Victims' names were not immediately released.
The suspect, John Bravard, 53, fled the lobby after the shooting, police said. Teams of officers searched the hotel, and about an hour later found Bravard's body in his room, authorities said.
