Police say they believe a man fatally shot his wife and two young daughters inside their suburban Pittsburgh home before turning the gun on himself.
Shaler Township police say neighbors reported hearing gunshots inside the home at about 10:30 p.m. Sunday.
Police Chief Jeff Gally told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that officers discovered the body of an 8- or 9-year-old girl in a hallway. Her mother, father and baby sister were found in the master bedroom.
The victims' names weren't immediately released.
The chief says the family had lived in the rented home for a few weeks and there was no indication of what might have prompted the shooting. He says the father didn't have a criminal record in Allegheny County.
Shaler Township is a residential community of nearly 30,000 just minutes from downtown Pittsburgh.

We recognize this is not an exhaustive portrayal of all deaths resulting from intimate violence.) When is society going to realize intimate violence makes victims of us all?
