A woman and her daughter were fatally shot by the woman's husband, who later turned the gun on himself, in what authorities in South Carolina called a "domestic-related" shooting.

William Peter Busick, 55, killed his wife, 48-year-old Chastity Lynne Busick, and his step-daughter 23-year-old Jasmine Alyse Bailey, in front of a child in a Red Bank home around 12:30 p.m. on Jan. 29, according to press releases from the Lexington County Sheriff's Office and Lexington County Coroner's Office.

Busick then shot himself, and was taken to a local hospital, where he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, officials added.

A minor was home at the time of the incident but was "unharmed," authorities said in the release. The relationship between the victims and the child was not specified.
