A father reportedly shot his two young daughters and himself in what is believed to be a murder-suicide.
According to CBS News, the trio were found dead inside their home west of Phoenix.
The Phoenix police in statement released say a 36-year-old man and a 5-year-old girl were pronounced dead at the scene late Sunday while a 4-year-old girl later died at a hospital.
Sgt. Mercedes Fortune, a police spokeswoman, said a woman called police Sunday night to express concern about the welfare of her ex-husband and their two daughters. Around the same time, a neighbour called 911 to report shots being fired.
“Officers believe that the adult male took the life of the two victims before taking his own life,” Fortune said.
She said the names of the three won’t be released until Tuesday.
