CENTRAL, Utah — Washington County sheriff's investigators think a former Marine killed his live-in girlfriend and her 5-year-old daughter before turning the gun on himself.
Sheriff's Lt. Rob Tersigni says a preliminary investigation shows 24-year-old Landon Jorgensen shot and killed 25-year-old Adria Parker and her daughter, Eliza Parker, before fatally shooting himself.

The three were found dead Thursday in a home in the southern Utah town of Central.
The Salt Lake Tribune and Deseret News report Jorgensen is a gun enthusiast and former Marine who had a blog, "Guns, Freedom and Politics." He taught a tactical pistol class, and said he was medically discharged from the Marines for back problems.
Investigators were awaiting autopsy results to determine how long the trio had been dead.
