Days after dealing with a triple murder-suicide involving two young girls, police in Sand Springs, Oklahoma, found themselves at the scene of another murder-suicide, in which a father killed his two teenage daughters.

The Sand Springs School District addressed Tuesday's tragedy in a social media post the following morning.
"Our hearts are heavy for the recent tragedies of two Sand Springs families," the statement reads. "Our condolences go out to each of these families."
It adds: "For most, the local public school is the heart of the community, and Sand Springs is a prime example of this. Sandites are a source of strength and resolve, and words cannot express how thankful we are for this community."
A GoFundMe campaign, launched by the victims' brother, Kenan, will help defray the costs of their girls' funerals. Kenan wrote that David had "multiple debts" that the mom is now legally responsible for.
"My sisters loved life, very much," reads the page. "They both had wonderful plans for the future, things looked bright. My father stole their futures."
