A man in Michigan called 911 to report that his fiancée and her two teenage sons were fatally shot. However, it wasn't until later that he admitted to committing the killings himself. Charles Broomfield first called 911 to report the deadly shootings on Tuesday, January 27. He told officers that he heard his fiancée, Jacqueline Neill, talking to someone downstairs in their home. He then claimed to have gone downstairs, where he said he found a man pointing a gun at her, according to WWMT. Officers with the Grand Rapids Police Department reported to the home on Worden Street SE just before 8 a.m., where Broomfield, 44, shared the elaborate story about the shooting. Broomfield claimed that after he spotted the first shooter, a second shooter followed him upstairs and pointed his gun at him and his 5-year-old son. He then said he pleaded with the suspect to not hurt them, and that the suspect left.

Authorities launched an investigation into the shooting, and they quickly discovered that there were inconsistencies in his account. According to court records, authorities did not find any footprints in the snow leading up to the house that would have indicated there were two intruders. Additionally, Broomfield told authorities that he called 911 shortly after the incident. However, medical personnel that reported to the scene stated the victims had been dead for almost an hour before they arrived. Broomfield was arrested one day later on Wednesday, January 28, after he admitted to shooting and killing Neill and her 13- and 15-year-old sons. An arraignment was held on Thursday, January 29, where the judge asked if Broomfield understood what he was being charged with. According to WWMT, Broomfield appeared unsure as he told the judge "No" and then "I guess." Broomfield was denied bond during the hearing and has been charged with first-degree murder, according to online records viewed by Us Weekly. It is not currently clear if Broomfield has entered a plea or retained legal representation. The Grand Rapids Police Department did not immediately respond to Us Weekly's request for comment. "The most serious of these charges alleged are capital life offenses," the judge said during the arraignment hearing. "I do believe that poses not only a risk to public safety but also a risk of flight." Broomfield is scheduled to return to court on Tuesday, February 10, for a probable cause conference, while his preliminary examination will take place on Tuesday, February 17.

Our hearts are with their families, friends, and all who are grieving," KHPS Superintendent Gerald Hopkins Jr. said, according to WWMT. "The district's priority is to support the families during this difficult time and ensure that students and staff have access to counseling and mental health support."
