The gunman who shot and killed a mother and her teenage daughter in Perth's affluent western suburbs did so because he thought his ex-partner was at the property.The 63-year-old man visited a home on Berkeley Crescent in Floreat on Friday afternoon looking for his ex-wife, but instead found the 59-year-old owner of the property and her teenage daughter.
WA Police Detective Inspector David Gorton said the man shot the mother and critically injured her 18-year-old daughter. Detective Inspector Gorton said the gunman was known to police, but he did not have a history of violence."Obviously they are very distressed by these circumstances and WA Police will make the appropriate referrals to them for counselling," he said."Any death is tragic however when you get a multiple murder, it has that greater impact upon the family, the friends, the first responders and certainly the community at large.
