Strathcona County RCMP say three members of the same family were killed in a murder-suicide at their home this week.
Mounties were called to the home, on Range Road 222, about 6:15 a.m. Monday for reports of a man with a firearm, said Supt. Dave Kalist, Detachment Commander of Strathcona County RCMP.
A mother and daughter were found slain at the home along with a dog. A man was also found dead by his own hand.
Our members responded immediately, ensured the safety of the public, accessed the residence and located three deceased people, Kalist said Tuesday afternoon. I can confirm that a mother and a daughter died of a result of homicide and a male as a result of a self-inflicted injury.
To protect the public, the area was contained, traffic was diverted and nearby residences were evacuated. When Strathcona RCMP, including the Emergency Response Team, made entry onto the subjects property, three people and one dog were located, deceased.
