Fire officials say three people are dead after a fire in a shed outside a home improvement store in Calgary.

Crews responded to the fire just before 4 a.m. Monday at a Lowe's in the city's northwest.

The bodies were found inside the shed after the flames were extinguished.

The fire department and police arson unit are investigating.
