LYNNFIELD, Mass.—Authorities say a Lynnfield man shot his pregnant girlfriend and her sister to death before killing himself.
A spokesman for the Essex district attorney's office says police received a 911 call at about 10 p.m. on Monday night, but by the time they arrived at the scene three people were dead.
Investigators think 51-year-old Joseph Cummings shot his girlfriend, 35-year-old Kimberly Nguyen, then shot 29-year-old Lilly Nguyen, before turning the gun on himself. Kimberly Nguyen was six-months pregnant with Cummings' child.
Kimberly Nguyen's 12-year-old daughter fled to a neighbor's house and a 911 call was made from that home.
Authorities say Cummings and his girlfriend had been arguing.
Autopsies are scheduled and the slayings remain under investigation.
