DENVER (AP) - The Latest on a shooting in Denver (all times local):

3:40 p.m.

Police say a husband and wife and their daughter are dead in a shooting at a Denver home and a man who knew the family well is under arrest in their slayings.

Fifty-nine-year-old Bustaman Kartabrata was being held in jail Friday on suspicion of first-degree murder in Thursday night’s shooting. It’s not clear if he has a lawyer.

Division Chief Joe Montoya said one other family member was injured but not hit by gunshots and another, the couple’s son, managed to get out of the house and call 911.

He said the home had recently been sold and there had been people moving in and out when there was some sort of conflict that led to the shooting. He wouldn’t say whether the family had been moving in or out at the time.
