A Dover, Massachusetts, man shot and killed his wife and daughter before taking his own life last week, investigators said Tuesday.

"Preliminary results provided to investigators confirms that Teena Kamal, 54, and her daughter Arianna Kamal, 18, were victims of homicide by gunshot," Norfolk District Attorney Michael Morrissey’s office said in a statement. "Rakesh Kamal, 57, their husband and father respectively, died by gunshot wound consistent with being self-inflicted."

Police in Dover, located about 19 miles west of Boston, discovered the bodies Thursday after responding to a 911 call from a relative who had stopped by to check on the family.
