Fire officials in Northern California say three people have died after a small plane crashed into a house. Menlo Park Fire Chief Harold Schapelhouman says crews battled blazes at two houses in East Palo Alto on Wednesday morning. But there are no reports of injuries on the ground. Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor says the Cessna 310 crashed shortly after takeoff from the Palo Alto Airport. The crash site is just northwest of the airport.
