The Rev. Phil Fulton knew some of the eight family members who were shot dead near his rural southern Ohio community this week. The victims’ shaken relatives, he says, are asking roughly the same question as police: Who would do this?
“Just heartache,” Fulton said Saturday, describing the relatives’ reactions a day after police said seven adults and a 16-year-old were found shot in the head “execution-style,” most while they slept, in Pike County.
“You try to think (about) the whys and who, and no one has any idea why this would take place,” said Fulton, pastor of Union Hill Church, which some of the victims had attended, in neighboring Adams County.
The eight members of Rhoden family — including a mother who investigators say was killed while her 4-day-old child lay beside her — were found dead Friday at four crime scenes, authorities said. The newborn, along with a 6-month-old and a 3-year-old, survived.On Saturday afternoon, authorities released the identities of the people who were killed.
