Mounting tensions between an estranged couple fueled an apparent murder-suicide Friday in Illinois, when police say a 48-year-old father fatally shot his twin teenage daughters before turning the gun on himself.
The killings left only one survivor, according to authorities: the girls’ mother, who was shot in both of her legs by her husband.
Police in St. Charles, Illinois, say the murder-suicide was preceded by months of domestic distress between Randall Coffland and his wife, Anjum Coffland, who were separated and living apart. According to investigators, Randall killed himself after shooting his 16-year-old daughters, Brittany and Tiffany Coffland, in the head.
