Ohio Man Fatally Shoots 3, Including 2 Kids, Before Turning Gun on Himself

An Ohio man shot and killed two children and another adult before taking his own life in Tiffin, authorities said.

In a press release from the Tiffin Police Department, officers were sent to the 100 block of Huss Street just before 6:30 p.m. on November 19 after receiving reports of gunfire and screaming.

When police arrived, they found four people with gunshot wounds. A woman at the scene was not physically injured, but officers described her as visibly traumatized and in shock.

Investigators say the violence erupted as the mother of two children was trying to move her belongings out of the home amid ongoing domestic problems. Police identified Dustin Willey, 29 — the father of the woman’s 7-year-old son — as being there to help her with the move. Authorities initially believed the woman’s husband, Ryan Eagon, 42, was out of town for work.

According to police, the woman and Willey were inside the house collecting items while her older son and 7-month-old baby were outside near a vehicle. After hearing the older child cry out, they went outside and saw Eagon in the driveway.

Police allege Eagon chased Willey and fired several shots at him. He then shot both children, before firing again at Willey and ultimately killing himself. The mother told officers she carried her injured children back inside before police arrived.

Willey was taken to Tiffin Mercy Hospital, where he later died. The 7-year-old boy also died at the hospital. Eagon and the 7-month-old infant were pronounced dead at the residence. Police said Eagon was the infant’s father.

The case remains under investigation with assistance from the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the Seneca County Coroner’s Office. Autopsies were still pending as of Friday, November 21.

Willey’s former boss, Kelly Gallagher, told WTVG that he was devoted to his son and deeply involved in his life. “He would do anything for that boy,” she said, adding that Willey took pride in being a present and caring father.Thinking
