In a tragic story out of Northwest Indiana, a man is accused of shooting his brother and sister-in-law as their children listened in. Here’s WLWT.

“A convicted murderer released from prison just two years ago is charged with killing his brother and sister in law in Indiana. Officials Steven Clippenger shot his brother during an argument early Saturday morning... near South Bend.”

WLWT reports police are saying Clippenger then went inside Matthew and Lisa Clippenger’s home and killed his brother’s wife while the couple’s children hid upstairs. WXIN reports Clippenger allegedly had the help of an accomplice.

“His accomplice Jennifer Leveque is also charged with assisting a criminal. Police said their children were home at the time of the shooting but were not injured and it says they were the ones who called police.”

The Associated Press reports police say 41-year-old Clippenger was upset after his brother, Matthew, had confiscated his handgun. Police say Clippenger got a new handgun from Leveque -- the reported murder weapon. Leveque also drove him away from the scene.

“Steven Clippenger is charged with two counts of murder as well as a weapons charge in the slayings. Leveque, 40, is charged with assisting a criminal and giving a handgun to a felon, the St. Joseph County Prosecutor's Office said. Clippenger was being held without bond, and Leveque's bond was set at $60,000.”
