NORTH PALM SPRINGS, CA — An investigation was continuing Monday after three people were found dead over the weekend near the Pilot Travel Center in North Palm Springs.

At approximately 1:15 p.m. Sunday, Palm Springs police responded to a call about a gunshot victim in the area of North Indian Canyon Drive and Garnet Avenue.

When officers arrived, they found a white sedan at the intersection with two dead males inside.

A third male was found dead just south of Interstate 10, near the Indian Canyon Drive overpass. He had "self-inflicted injuries," according to Palm Springs police.
