A Pennsylvania man shot and killed his beloved wife and daughter after getting into an argument with the women whilst cleaning his gun.
Roger Hanks, 76, of Chester County was arrested at his home on Thursday evening and charged with first-degree murder.
The charges came after police were called to the 200 block of Wiltshire Drive, where Hanks lived with his 75-year-old wife Judith, at around 6:15pm. Their home was a $746,000, four bed and three bathroom single-family house.
After being found in his garage and taken into custody, Hanks admitted that he had shot his wife Judith and daughter, Emily, 37, ABC reported.
Hanks confessed that he had gotten into an argument with Judith while cleaning his gun and told her 'if you keep up this thing is going to go off on you.'
