Minnesota man kills his two sons, his wife and his ex-partner before killing himself, police say

DULUTH, Minn. (AP) — Police say a Minnesota man shot and killed his wife and son, and his ex-partner and their son, before killing himself. Duluth police have not determined a motive, but Police Chief Mike Ceynowa said at a news conference on Friday that the shooter, 46-year-old Anthony Nephew, had a “pattern of mental health issues.” Officers were called to a home Thursday afternoon and found Nephew’s ex-partner and their 15-year-old son fatally shot. Later Thursday, at Nephew’s home, police found the bodies of Nephew, his wife and their 7-year-old son. All three had been fatally shot, and police say Nephew appears to have shot himself.
