A man killed two family members then turned the gun on himself at an Ontario cemetery on Saturday.

All three of the deceased were family through marriage, reports the Press Enterprise. Investigators have not released their names and are investigating a motive. All of the deceased appeared to be in their 60s.

The shooting was reported just after 3 p.m. at Bellevue Memorial Park in Ontario. Police say that three people – a man and two women – had gone to the cemetery to visit the grave of a family member. When they arrived, the gunman got out of a nearby vehicle and killed the man and one of the women at close range. He then shot himself.

The other woman was not injured. Her name was not released, but police say she is elderly and uses a walker.
