The man shot his wife before turning the gun on himself while their daughters watched from the back seat of their car, according to Sgt. Jae Robertson with the Coweta County Sheriff’s Office.

The woman was pronounced dead at the scene, and the man died Monday night at an Atlanta area hospital.

Robertson said deputies found the girls, ages 3 and 8, sobbing near the driveway. The girls are currently with relatives and have been offered counseling services.

Authorities are still looking for a motive. Robertson said deputies had never been called to the house before.

The names of those involved have not been released at this time.
