In an incident from February 27, Theresa Cain, 46, shot three people before shooting herself at a house in Ohio, the police confirmed in a press release on Friday.
Cain took the lives of Ethan Cain, 13; Steven Cain, 50; and William Felton, 74, bizarrely at a time when the police were attempting to serve “serve civil paperwork” at the house.
The police did not immediately clarify the relationship between Cain and the victims of the suicide murder nor did they mention what the ‘civil paperwork’ was related to.
Samantha Cain, 20, who police confirmed is the daughter of Theresa Cain, suffered critical injuries during the shootings but is now “in critical but stable condition”, the police.
She could provide “vital information” and “assist detectives with answers as to motive”, they added.
