Authorities say two men died in a murder-suicide in southeast Missouri.

The Bollinger County Sheriff's office says officers were called to a rural road outside Marble Hill on Friday with reports of a man shooting at someone.

KFVS reports deputies found Christopher Todd McGregor of Zalma dead of several gunshot wounds.

Witnesses said a suspect left the scene. When officers arrived at the home of Ethen Sullivan in rural Marble Hill, they found him dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Investigators say the shooting started as a domestic disturbance.

Police were investigating a triple homicide, the second multiple killing in two days, after three people were found shot to death in a home on Milwaukee's southwest side on Sunday.

A woman and two men were pronounced dead in their home in a four-unit apartment building in the 3300 block of S. 92nd St. Sunday night. They were shot around 5:45 p.m., and police were summoned after 911 callers reported the sound of shots being fired.

A man who lived in the apartment was arrested, and two firearms — a rifle and handgun — were found at the scene, police said.

Police were investigating the connection between the three victims and the man arrested in their deaths. Their names were not released. Police said the woman was in her 30s and the male victims were in their 40s and 50s. The suspect was in his 20s.

Benjamin Schultz, who lives a block away, was out for dinner with his mother and brother when they returned home around 6 p.m. and saw flashing blue and red lights from several squad cars on S. 92nd St., which was blocked to traffic.

"My mother is a little unnerved and scared right now," Schultz said. "You don't expect to see something like this."

Sunday's shooting followed another fatal incident Saturday, in which a woman and her son were killed at S. 9th St. and W. National Ave. A woman suspected in that attack was later found dead at another location of what police said was a suspected self-inflicted gunshot wound.

An Ohio father who police said shot and killed his 14-year-old son when he mistook him for an intruder will not be charged in the incident, prosecutors said Wednesday.

The 72-year-old man, who has not been named, told authorities he thought his son had gone to school Tuesday morning when he heard a noise in the basement at his Cincinnati home. He said he grabbed his gun and went to check it out.

The man said he opened a closet door and his son shouted “boo,” according to the prosecutor. He got spooked, he said, and shot his son — striking him in the neck.

“I just shot my son by accident,” he told a 911 operator, according to CNN affiliate WCPO. “He scared me. I thought he was in school. I heard noise and then I went downstairs looking. He jumped out at me. I shot him.”

“Oh God,” the father said in the audio obtained by the news station. “Why didn’t you go to school?”

The teen was transported to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, where he died, police said.

A Florida woman who fatally shot her daughter mistakenly thought the 27-year-old was a home intruder, authorities say.

The sleeping woman woke up when she heard a noise and saw a figure coming toward her late Tuesday night, said Sgt. Denise Roberts, of the St. Cloud Police Department. The figure was approaching quickly, Roberts said, and didn’t say anything.

“The homeowner fired one round at the subject,” a news release on the shooting states. “The subject was later identified as the homeowner’s daughter.”

The daughter was taken to a hospital, where she died. The mother was also taken to the same hospital, according to the release.

“The homeowner’s story is consistent with the physical evidence and the witness’ statement,” the release states. “At this time, the incident appears to be an accidental shooting; however, the investigation is ongoing and it is considered to be an ‘open investigation.'”

The St. Cloud Police Department asked that media outlets not publish the names of the shooter and her husband, because the man is a police officer who has previously worked undercover. The victim’s mother works as an Osceola County Sheriff’s Office 911 dispatcher, the release states.

A 911 call captured the aftermath of the shooting, which was apparently confusing for those at the scene. In the call, a man can be heard telling a dispatcher that the victim “passed out,” saying she has a pacemaker and a heart problem. A woman later gets on the phone, and struggles to relay information to the dispatcher.

“Baby, I love you so much,” she says. “Please, please … oh my God.”

St. Cloud is located in central Florida, about 35 minutes from Orlando.

It appears that a 2-year-old accidentally shot his father in the head and killed him Tuesday, police in Alabama said.

The boy’s mother had left work and returned to the apartment in Hoover, Ala. Tuesday afternoon when she discovered the scene, Hoover Police said in a statement.

The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office on Wednesday identified the victim as 31-year-old Divine Vaniah Chambliss of Birmingham. A spokesman told The Post an official autopsy report was not yet available.

“‘Horrible tragedy’ is as close as I can come to putting words to it,” Hoover Police Capt. Gregg Rector told The Post Wednesday. “You think you’ve seen everything in this line of work and then something like this happens.”

Larry and Marilyn Chambliss told the Birmingham News on Thursday they believe their son was taking a nap when the toddler found a gun, and they pray their grandson won’t remember what happened. But the toddler has already said to his mother, “I hurt my Dad,” the paper reported.

“He was an inspirational person, a peacekeeper, a motivator,” Larry Chambliss said of his son, Divine.

Police said that Chambliss and the toddler were the only two people home at the time of the shooting, and the preliminary information they’ve received indicates the toddler “may have accidentally shot his father.” Police added that “there does not appear to be an intruder or any third person involved.”

Rector said police aren’t making an official determination of cause of death yet, “but all indications are that this was an accidental gunshot caused by the two-and-a-half year-old.” Rector added: “We’re certain that this is not a suicide.”

A semiautomatic handgun, which police believe Chambliss owned, was found in the apartment. “We don’t know where the child found the gun,” Rector said.

The mother and Chambliss also had a young daughter together who was in school at the time of the shooting. Chambliss would often come to the apartment to watch the children while the mother was at work, Rector added.

Family told the Birmingham News that Chambliss was an active church usher and security guard who always carried his gun, with the safety on, in his side holster because of the security work.

A Connecticut man shot a masked intruder to death yesterday — only to find out the person he killed was his 15-year-old son.

Jeffrey Giuliano fired at his son Tyler at 1 a.m. in the tony town of New Fairfield as the teen was apparently trying to break into the home of a relative next door to his dad’s.

The elder Giuliano allegedly pulled the trigger as the boy — wearing a ski mask — came at him with what appeared to be a shiny object, sources said.

After the shooting, the elder Giuliano sat at the curbside and waited for cops, unaware of the slain intruder’s identity, a police source said.

“The shooter did not know who the deceased was until we informed him,” Lt. J. Paul Vance, a State Police spokesman, told The Post.

A source said the father was in “utter shock.”

The tragedy unfolded when Giuliano got a frantic call from his sister, Alexis Scocozza. She told him she thought someone was trying to burglarize her home, police said.

Giuliano — a beloved fifth-grade schoolteacher known as “Mr G.” — grabbed a handgun and went to investigate, police said.

That’s when he encountered the intruder, who had a shiny object in his hand and lunged toward him, cops said.

Giuliano fired repeatedly, hitting the intruder, who was pronounced dead at the scene on Meetinghouse Circle Road, cops said.

Cops then told Giuliano, 44, the terrible news.

“All in all, it’s a tragedy,” Vance told The Associated Press.

The dad hasn’t been charged, but the investigation is ongoing.

Giuliano adopted Tyler — who had wanted to join the Air Force — when he was his fifth-grade teacher and after Tyler’s grandmother was no longer able to take care of him.

“He just cared so much. Tyler was such a great boy he couldn’t just leave him,” one of Tyler’s pals said.

The friend, who knew Tyler since the third grade, said no one at New Fairfield HS could make sense of the tragedy or figure out why he might have been breaking into his aunt’s home.

“We didn’t understand why Tyler was out. It’s just weird,” the friend said. “He wasn’t a delinquent or anything. He was always happy and outgoing.

“This just makes no sense at all.”

Tyler played soccer and was one of a only few students in a Civil Air Patrol class at his school.

“He loved flying,” said his friend.

“In class, you get to fly a plane with an instructor at Danbury Airport. It’s a really hard course.”

A wealthy hedge-fund chief was gunned down by his adult son after he threatened to cut his allowance by a $100 a week and stop paying his steep rent, cops said Monday.

Spoiled manchild Thomas Gilbert Jr., 30, flew into a murderous rage when he confronted his fed-up dad, Thomas Gilbert Sr., 70, over the downsizing of financial support, police said.

“He was on a stipend from the family. Looks like he was in debt,” NYPD Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce said of the accused killer.

The freeloading son, a Princeton grad, shot his father once in the head with a .40-caliber Glock 22 handgun Sunday afternoon inside his parents’ multimillion-dollar Beekman Place apartment, police said.

Not one tragedy, but two for a Waterloo family.

They've lost two loved ones to accidental shootings in the last decade. One happened last month.

The family says they're shocked this has happened to them twice.

They say the kids have always grown-up around guns and learned to always assume a gun was loaded.

So they still can not believe this happened. Last month they were told 27-year-old Eric Tusing was in Burlington, joking with friends about playing Russian Roulette.

That's when he accidentally shot himself not knowing the gun was loaded.

Eric's sister says he was a loving and protective father, brother and son.

What's so shocking to her is that Eric died nine years after his half-brother Tristan died from an accidental shooting.

Eric's half brother Tristan died while at a friend's house in 2007 when a gun fell to the ground and shot him the back.

They hope this is a reminder how important gun safety is for people of all ages.

They're hosting a fundraiser and silent auction on March 26 at Pipeliners Bar and Grill in Washington to pay for Eric's funeral costs.

The two brothers were very close. Eric named his second son after Tristan.

The Gallatin County Sheriff's Office says a woman shot and killed her husband and their infant child before killing herself.
