A 62-year-old man in Illinois allegedly killed his fiancée and her two daughters, one of whom was pregnant, fatally shooting all three victims before turning the gun on himself in a tragic triple murder-suicide that has left a small rural town devastated.

Ronald L. Cobren is suspected of killing 53-year-old Christina Bell and her two daughters, 19-year-old Autumn Bell and 16-year-old Alaria Bell, authorities announced.

Cobren is also suspected of shooting and critically injuring an adult male whose name has not been released.

According to a news release, deputies from the Cass County Sheriff’s Office on Dec. 14 joined emergency medical personnel as well as officers with the Ashland and Beardstown Police Departments, who responded to an address located in the 300 block of Philadelphia Road in rural Ashland regarding a man who called 911 and said he had been shot. Assistance from the Illinois State Police and the Pleasant Plains Police Department was also requested at the residence, which is just over 200 miles southwest of Chicago.

Upon arriving at the scene, first responders located the male victim who appeared to be suffering from a gunshot wound to his torso. He was immediately transported to a local hospital for treatment with what the sheriff’s office described as “life-threatening injuries.” A female victim suffering from at least one gunshot wound was also found inside of the residence. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
