When deputies pulled up to the family home on Riebel Ridge Road in Ohio Township around 9:40 a.m. Monday, Theresa Cain was standing on the patio outside, Leahy said.

Deputies expected no issues. They checked with her before Monday to ensure all would go smoothly. She had been cooperative. She indicated she still had a few things to pack.

She requested and received a few extra hours but agreed the family would be ready to vacate the premises by 10 a.m. Monday. Theresa Cain had assured the sheriff’s office the family had a place to go.

But as soon as she saw them pulling up, she quickly went inside the house, the sheriff said.

A deputy knocked on the front and then back doors. No one answered. The deputy stepped inside the home and called out to her, announcing the sheriff’s office had arrived.

He heard a muffled “No, no, no, no,” Leahy said, followed by a “very fast” succession of gunfire.

She fired five gunshots in just under 3.5 seconds, ones they now believe were meant to keep deputies away - and then turned the gun on herself, he said.

1. This is terribly sad

Need more info but I think it's sad that she killed those people and herself over money.

Your bank account is how much you're worth. Some of these people swallow that thinking whole and then can't deal with it when things happen to them.

2. Just terrible

Wish she hadn't have had a gun.

3. Adding this important detail

The eviction was the culmination of a long history of financial problems for the family that appears to be the motive of the murder-suicide that left a total of four relatives dead and a fifth fighting for her life, he said.



Five people shot, with one fighting for her life.
