CLERMONT COUNTY, OHIO: A string of newly released 911 calls have reportedly revealed chilling details about Chad Doerman, who fatally shot his three young sons and left his wife injured. The 32-year-old Ohio man is currently facing three charges of aggravated murder after allegedly lining up his three young sons — ages seven, four and three — and shooting them execution-style, authorities said.
Doerman was arrested after 4.30 pm on June 15 when deputies rushed to his home in the 1900 block of Laurel Lindale Rd. in Monroe Township and found three boys outside the home with gunshot wounds. The authorities reportedly responded to Doerman’s home after receiving two 911 calls. In one of the calls, a frantic neighbor was heard telling a 911 operator that she saw a blonde-haired girl, whose identity has not been released, running down the street yelling that her stepfather "is killing everybody in her house." The caller then noted that she offered to pick up the girl in her car but the teenager declined, telling her that she "couldn't leave her family" and continued running towards a fire station, Daily Mail reported.
‘Babies have been shot'
In the second 911 call, the 34-year-old mother of the three children could be heard telling operators that her "babies have been shot." The woman, who is yet to be identified, was found outside the home and had sustained a gunshot to the hand while trying to shield her sons from their father. She was immediately rushed to a nearly hospital, where she received treatment for her non-life-threatening injuries.
Meanwhile, Doerman was detained without incident after he was found sitting on the steps of his Ohio property. He was arraigned on Friday, June 16, and is now being held on $20M bond. Following the arrest, Doerman allegedly told police that he had been planning the heinous crime for months.
During Doerman's arraignment, Clermont County's top prosecutor for Municipal Court, David Gast, said that one of the boys attempted to run into a nearby field, but Doerman "hunted" him down and brought him back to their house before murdering him. Gast called the killings the worst crime he had ever seen. "They held these children knowing there was nothing they could do. How do you unsee that sort of abomination? This was the man that every day they woke up looking to for protection, love, and guidance in all things," he said.
'He was a bomb ready to explode'
Following Doerman’s arrest, one of his friends, Mark Holland, opened up about his rage and how he badly used to treat his famil.y “He had a bad temper, really bad. I think he was a bomb ready to explode,” Holland said.
A neighbor, who witnessed the aftermath of the shooting, also spoke about Doerman behavior, saying, "He was angry every day. There wasn't a day he didn't yell at his wife and kids out there," adding that the accused had a bad temper and he used “yell all the time and treated (his wife) like s**t.” Doerman’s father expressed that he was “still trying to comprehend” how his son could have committed the crime. Keith said he and his wife had “no answers” to the brutality as his son “just snapped.”
