WASHINGTON, Feb. 24 (Xinhua) -- Police in the US state of North Carolina are looking into a Sunday morning shooting which killed two people and wounded another.

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) said the shooting took place in a country club home. When police arrived at the scene at 4 a.m. they found a man and a woman had died from gunshot wounds.

A third person with life-threatening wounds was also found at the home and had been taken to a hospital, police said.
