Ohio Father Planned Killings of Three Young Sons

He lined them up to shoot them in their home, prosecutors say

An Ohio man accused of fatally shooting his three young sons admitted to planning the killings and lined them up before executing them with a rifle, prosecutors said Friday.

Chad Doerman, 32, who is also accused of wounding the boys' mother at the family's home, has been charged with aggravated murder, authorities said.

David Gast, Clermont County's chief prosecutor of Municipal Court, said during Doerman's arraignment Friday that one of the boys tried to flee into a nearby field but Doerman "hunted" his son down and brought him back to their home before killing him.
