Chad Doerman accused of lining up, executing 3 sons

In a shocking and devastating incident, an Ohio father has been accused of lining up his three young sons and fatally shooting them with a rifle at their home in Monroe Township. Chad Doerman, who recently turned 32, is currently facing three counts of aggravated murder in Clermont County. The shooting took place at approximately 4 p.m. on Wednesday, leaving the community in a state of shock and disbelief.

Details surrounding the motive behind the shooting remain unclear, and the investigation is ongoing. The victims’ mother, who was also present during the incident, sustained a gunshot wound to her hand and immediately called 911, frantically reporting that her children had been shot. Another witness contacted emergency services after encountering a minor female fleeing from the scene, who allegedly informed them that her father was killing everyone.

Tragically, the mother’s worst fears were confirmed when it was revealed that her three sons, aged 3, 4, and 7, had succumbed to their injuries at the scene. The father reportedly waited on the front step for law enforcement to arrive and arrest him. The local community, typically characterized as quiet and peaceful, expressed shock and disbelief at the horrific events that unfolded in their midst.

Chad Doerman was taken into custody without bond immediately after the shooting, following an interview with detectives. At an arraignment hearing in Clermont County Municipal Court, his bond was set at an astonishing $20 million. Prosecutors provided harrowing details of the incident, alleging that Doerman deliberately lined up his sons and executed them with a rifle, in full view of their mother. According to the prosecutor, one of the boys was “hunted” down before being killed.

The prosecutor described the act as an “evil horror” and one of the most monstrous, craven, and cowardly acts they have ever witnessed. Gast further stated that the father confessed to the crime, leaving investigators grappling with the unimaginable cruelty that transpired within the family home. The motive behind the shooting is yet to be revealed.

The New Richmond Exempted Village School District expressed their deep sorrow and pledged support for those affected by the tragedy. Grief counselors will be available at Monroe Elementary School to provide assistance to students and staff. The superintendent emphasized the importance of community support and reaching out for help during these difficult times.

Chad Doerman is scheduled to appear at a preliminary hearing on June 26, where further details surrounding the case are expected to be presented. The devastating loss of three innocent lives has left the community in mourning and searching for answers in the wake of this unimaginable tragedy.
