PHOENIX, Nov. 13 (UPI) -- A Phoenix man ambushed his estranged wife Tuesday, killing her, their teenage daughter and another man before shooting himself, police said.
The shootings occurred Tuesday afternoon at a home in northern Phoenix, KPHO-TV reported. The woman's body was set on fire.
Sgt. Trent Crump said the man left his house when his wife came by with their daughter and a male relative to pick up her possessions. But he apparently parked his car nearby and walked back.
Investigators found identification in his car, suggesting he intended suicide. The daughter's body was inside the house, the man's in the front yard and the wife's in back, while the husband's was in an alley.
The identities of the four dead had not been released late Tuesday. Police said the wife had filed for divorce and had also been seeking an order of protection.
Jeanette Chaira, a neighbor, said the man appeared to have had a loving relationship with his daughter.
"When I've talked to him he's been very nice and I know he's very attentive to his daughter," she told KPHO. "He'd come and meet her at the bus and they'd give each other a hug."
