A United States man, Anthony Nephew has killed his wife, ex-partner two children and shot himself after the November 5 election that brought President-elect Donald Trump into office.
According to Duluth Police Chief Mike Ceynowa, the 46-year-old had a “pattern of mental health issues.” Authorities said the man had expressed anger over Trump’s election.
Anthony Nephew, his ex-partner Erin Abramson, 47, and their son, Jacob Nephew 15, were found dead from apparent gunshot wounds inside their home on Thursday afternoon.
After identifying Anthony Nephew as a suspect, police found his 45-year-old wife, Kathryn Nephew, and their 7-year-old son Oliver Nephew, dead from what appears to be multiple gunshot wounds inside their family home close by.
Before the incident, Anthony Nephew had been sharing left-wing and anti-Trump posts on his Facebook account. “My mental health and the world can no longer peacefully coexist, and a lot of the reason is religion”, he wrote in July.
“I am terrified of religious zealots inflicting their misguided beliefs on me and my family. I have intrusive thoughts of being burned at the stake as a witch, or crucified on a burning cross.”
Duluth police department said there was no present threat to the community.
A memorial is now growing for 7-year-old Oliver Nephew in Duluth. Duluth public schools are reportedly holding a candlelight walk on Wednesday at 6pm in honor of the Oliver.
