Three Dead In Upscale Chicago Burb

"WILMETTE, IL - Police checking on a home found the bodies of a man, woman and teenage boy who were killed in an apparent murder-suicide.

"A preliminary investigation suggests the woman and teenager were shot to death and the man died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Wilmette Deputy Police Chief Brian King said in a statement.

"Authorities did not release the names of those killed, pending notification of relatives.

"When officers arrived at the locked home they were not able to reach anyone inside and forced their way in, King said.

"Investigators are looking into the backgrounds of those slain, said King.

"The teenager was a 17-year-old senior at New Trier Township High School, District 203 Supt. Linda Yonke told the Chicago Tribune.

"`He was just a really nice, nice young man,` she said. `He was very well known and loved.`"
