## Summary

Emilia and Sorin Ciortan, both 71, were found shot dead in their North Royalton, Ohio, home on Tuesday evening. Police say their daughter’s ex-husband, Stefan Pascu, was also found dead inside; the case is being investigated as a double killing followed by an apparent suicide.

The daughter called 911 after spotting Pascu’s car in her parents’ driveway and being unable to reach them. She told the dispatcher that he had been angry about their divorce for more than 10 years, had recently returned from Romania and had been acting strangely. Officers found the couple in separate rooms, then a tactical unit located Pascu in the home’s lower level.
