Fire officials say a house fire in southeast Missouri killed two adults and a child.
Firefighters responded to the home in Perkins on Wednesday. Scott County Chief Deputy Ron Merideth said 43-year-old Leon Phillips, 40-year-old Jacquelyn Greenway and 10-year-old Casen Shelton died.
The dead included the homeowner, his friend, and his friend's daughter. All three were found in one room on the north side of the house.
