“I just didn’t see this coming,” she said. “I used to call his mom ‘Grandma.’ I just loved them. They were a sweet and caring family. They always asked about me. ... I am sick to my stomach. I’m in shock.”
Police arrived at a mobile home in the 200 block of Kenny Brook Lane at 11:45 p.m. Saturday after James Steadman called 911 and said he had killed his family and was about to kill himself, police said.ELYRIA, Ohio — Elyria police Monday released the identities of victims in a murder-suicide in which a 69-year-old man shot and killed three family members before shooting himself.
Residents of West Ridge Green, the mobile home community where the Steadman family lived for more than 20 years, said they are stunned and heartbroken. Herbert said she was concerned that James had become overwhelmed caring for his family. She said Lisa and Bernadette had medical issues. Bernadette used a wheelchair, and Matthew was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. The family had a ramp and deck completed on the home just Thursday so Bernadette could travel easier.
“I feel like he was depressed or whatever it was,” she said. “He was taking care of his mom and an adult kid. That’s a lot for someone to take. I feel like he was overwhelmed, and although I’m against suicide and murder, I don’t judge him for what he did.”
