A man was killed by police after they say he fatally shot his wife and their 2-year-old daughter, and also injured their two other children, in Louisiana.
Authorities responded to the shooting incident at a residence in River Ridge at around 4:00 a.m. local time on Saturday, Jan. 18, when they found a woman and a child dead, as well as two other children injured with gunshot wounds, the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.
The suspect was later identified as Glenn Bohn Jr., 46, by FOX 8 New Orleans, which also identified the two victims as his wife, Dung Pham, 40, and their toddler, Amy Bohne.
Sheriff Joseph Lopinto told the outlet that a 13-year-old girl called police, alleging that “her father shot her mother and also the siblings inside the residence.”
“Our deputies arrived on scene and found a 40-year-old female along with a two-year-old child deceased in the hallway,” Lopinto continued to FOX 8 New Orleans, adding that two other children, a 9-year-old and the girl who called the police, were also found “both shot and wounded.”
Police next encountered the suspect “in a back bedroom” of the home, where “he ended up producing a firearm,” according to authorities. Deputies then “return fired upon him, striking and killing him inside the residence.”
The 9-year-old child is in critical condition, while the 13-year-old is stable after suffering an ankle gunshot, Sherrif Lopinto said. The children were both transported to a children’s hospital for their injuries.
Lopinto confirmed that the children involved in the incident were the suspect’s biological children.
“Our initial investigation indicates the suspect shot all of the victims inside the residence,” he added.
The teenager injured in the shooting was identified as eighth-grader Tier Bohne by Archbishop Chapelle High School on Instagram.
The school wrote that they “are deeply saddened by the tragic events that occurred this morning,” as they offered their support to the victim and her family.
Police are investigating the scene and are not currently looking for any other suspects.
