Three people were found dead after a structure fire sparked in Prescott Valley Thursday.
Crews with Central Arizona Fire and Medical were called to a home located near 3100 East Yavapai Road for a fire.
Officials say around 8:15 a.m. Thursday, police received reports of a woman screaming for help, the sound of gunshots and a fire at a home in the area.
