Man Kills Wife And Daughter At Cracker Barrel

Police say a northeast Ohio man shot and killed his wife and young daughter at a Cracker Barrel restaurant and also injured his other young daughter. Officers later fatally shot him when he refused to surrender.

The Brooklyn Police Department on Friday identified the shooter as 51-year-old Kevin Allen, of Strongsville.

Authorities say Allen's wife called 911 from the restaurant, saying her husband was upset because she told him she was leaving him.

Police Chief Scott Mielke says Allen killed his wife, Katherina, and his 10-year-old daughter, Kerri, Thursday night.

Officers heard gunshots when they arrived and saw Kevin Allen leaving the restaurant in Brooklyn, Ohio, near Cleveland.

The couple's wounded daughter, 10-year-old, Kayla, was taken to a hospital.
