Police are still looking for a motive behind the shooting deaths of a St. Louis family.
46-year-old Richard Darren Emery of St. Charles, Missouri faces 15 criminal charges today after abandoning his truck and attempting to steal a woman’s vehicle. He later violently attacked her, causing her to sustain several stab wounds. Following the assault, he returned home to where his 39-year-old girlfriend, her children, and her mother lived. Emery shot and killed his girlfriend without any apparent motive. He then proceeded to shoot her children, 8-year-old Zoe Kasten, her 10-year-old brother Jonathan Kasten, and their 61-year-old grandmother Jane Moeckel. All four victims involved in the incident are now dead, according to Fox News.
Law enforcement promptly arrived at the scene of the crime where they engaged in a shootout with Emery, who allegedly received multiple gunshot wounds.
