Baku-APA. Authorities confirmed that three people were shot and killed at a house just outside Junction City in the U.S. state of Oregon, local media reported on Tuesday, APA reports quoting Xinhua News Agency.

It appears that a man shot and killed his two daughters, ages 7 and 9, before turning the gun on himself, local KEZI television station quoted investigators as saying.

Deputies believed the shooting happened some time Sunday night or Monday morning.

They said the girls’ mother went to pick them up from school and found out they hadn’t been in class all day. She drove to the home and found it dark and locked. The mother then alerted deputies, who forced entry into the house and found the three bodies.
