TUCSON, AZ (KTRK) -- Deputies say an Arizona man shot and killed his two daughters and then injured himself in an attempted suicide.

The Pima County Sheriff's Office says the mother of the 5 and 7-year-old victims called 911 around 7pm Thursday night, according to KVOA-TV. When deputies arrived at their Tucson condo, it was already too late.

Officers say a single gunshot was heard in what Sheriff Chris Nanos believes was a suicide attempt by the girls' father.

The man was taken to the hospital where it is not known whether he will survive his injuries.
