The woman, who identified herself as Steven’s mother, said the tragedy happened after his wife, who was also his daughter, broke up with him the day prior.
“His wife broke up with him over the phone yesterday and he just … he killed his wife, he killed her father … I can’t even believe this is happening,” she said before sobbing.
After police received the call Thursday, Knightdale officers found the couple’s 7-month-old son Bennett Pladl dead in a home on Earlston Court.
Later in the morning, police in Connecticut found two people fatally shot inside a pickup truck in New Milford.
They were identified as Katie and her adoptive father, 56-year-old Anthony Busco.
Officials later found Steven dead of a self-inflicted gunshot across the state line in New York.
