Police say they received a 911 call at 6:14 a.m. Monday from a family member who had left the property. Mounties, including an emergency response team, evacuated the surrounding area as a precaution and entered a residence where they found three bodies and a dead dog.“A mother and daughter died as a result of homicide and the male as a result of a self-inflicted injury,” Supt. Dave Kalist, detachment commander for the Strathcona County RCMP, said at a news conference Tuesday.Kalist said the 55-year-old man shot himself, but Kalist declined to say how the man was related to the mother and daughter.

Kalist said police will not release the names of those who died to respect the privacy of remaining family members so they can deal with what he called a horrific tragedy.A firearm that was used was not restricted and legally owned, he added. And investigators will continue their work. “Any time you have three deaths that are of this manner … even though we won’t have a trial, we still have to ensure all the facts are gathered and that we have done a thorough investigation.”“I would encourage them to reach out to friends or family,” he said. “Access those professional resources that are available to everybody in the community.
