Ohio family band member suspected of killing mom, brother
BEACH CITY, Ohio — An Ohio family band member suspected of killing his mother and brother was in critical condition Friday at a Cleveland hospital after shooting himself in the head, authorities said.
Stark County Sheriff George T. Maier said officers investigating a 911 hang-up call Thursday afternoon spotted someone through an open door of the family home and heard a gunshot go off as they approached the Beach City residence.
They found 25-year-old Jacob Stockdale with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head and also found 54-year-old Kathryn Stockdale and 21-year-old James Stockdale dead, Maier said.
Authorities believe Jacob Stockdale shot his mother and brother with a shotgun. They haven’t released any information about a possible motive.
