A Kenyan woman and her two children have been killed by her husband in Louisville, Kentucky, United States in what police suspect to be murder-suicide.
Around 9:30a.m. on Saturday, December 3, 2022, Louisville Metro Police officers were called to respond to the 4500 block of East Pages Lane on a report of a shooting with multiple victims.
In a statement, LMPD said officers arrived and found a man, woman and two girls dead.
The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office identified Mary Njoki Muchemi Stanton, 49, Adrianna Stanton, 17, Brianna Stanton, 11, Gary Stanton, 60, as the victims in the shooting.
Initial reports from Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD) indicated that Gary Stanton shot his and daughters dead inside their house in the Valley Station neighborhood before turning the gun on himself.
According to the Jefferson County Coroner’s Office, Mary and Andrianna were shot multiple times and Brianna was shot once. Mary had celebrated her birthday last week.
Mr Stanton died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the coroner added.
“We feel pretty confident that the incident is going to be a murder-suicide situation where the adult male was the primary aggressor who shot the three females,” LMPD Maj. Micah Scheu said on Saturday.
He added: “Any time lives are lost, anytime there’s juveniles involved obviously it’s very difficult. Many of our officers are fathers and mothers as well. It’s difficult to see anything like this.”
According to Whas11, an affiliate of ABC, the Stantons was ‘a normal traditional family within the neighborhood.’
