According to court records, a Clermont County father was charged with murder on Thursday for the shooting deaths of his three young boys in their backyard.
In the slayings of his three sons—ages 3, 4, and 7—at their house on Laurel Lindale Road in Monroe Township, Chad Doerman, 32, was arrested on Thursday night and charged with three counts of aggravated murder.
The Clermont County Jail has Doerman in custody without bond. On Friday at 10 a.m., he will be formally charged in Clermont County Municipal Court.
The Clermont County Sheriff’s Office reported that the boys’ mother, a 34-year-old woman, was also shot during the incident. Doerman is not being prosecuted at this time, but sheriff’s officials have indicated that he may face more charges.
A little girl screamed as she rushed down the street, “My father is killing everyone!” A woman, about 4:15 p.m., called 911 saying her “babies had been shot,” according to a news release.
A short while later, a concerned citizen contacted 911 to report hearing a child yell that her “father was killing everyone.” The girl’s identity and the sheriff’s department’s connection to the family were withheld. The authorities have assured us that she is safe at this time.
The sheriff stated that when deputies arrived, they discovered the boys shot and unresponsive. The 34-year-old lady needed medical attention, so she was brought to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center.
Monroe Township road closures lasted for many hours while authorities investigated the incident. Several ambulances waited outside the home while deputies checked it out.
