Mother Daughter Shot in House Springs Tragedy | St. Louis News

A chilling weekend in House Springs ended in tragedy as a mother and her teenage daughter were fatally shot in the head by her boyfriend, Christopher Kirkman, 46, who then took his own life when police arrived. The violent confrontation erupted after the mother and daughter found Kirkman and his own teen daughter at his home, sparking a deadly escalation. Kirkman, facing multiple charges including attempted first-degree murder and armed criminal action, was held without bond after a court hearing. Neighbors reported seeing him arguing earlier, and his own 16-year-old daughter was also critically wounded while trying to help her mother. Authorities confirm this incident is unrelated to a separate shooting the day before that left one dead and another injured.
