Suspect and victims in River Ridge homicide identified
The 13-year-old sustained a gunshot wound to her ankle.
A 46-year-old man was fatally shot by Jefferson Parish deputies early Saturday morning (January 18) after allegedly opening fire on his family inside their home in River Ridge.
The Jefferson Parish Coroner’s Office identified the gunman as Glenn Bohne Jr. According to Sheriff Joe Lopinto, Bohne killed his 40-year-old wife, Dung Pham, and their 2-year-old daughter, Amy Bohne, during the horrific incident.
Bohne also allegedly shot his two older daughters, a 9-year-old and a 13-year-old. The 9-year-old girl was critically injured and rushed to Children’s Hospital, where she remains in critical condition after undergoing surgery.
The 13-year-old sustained a gunshot wound to her ankle.
The couple’s eldest child, a brave 13-year-old girl, hid during the violence and managed to call 911, identifying her father as the gunman. Sheriff Lopinto described the call as heartbreaking.
“I just listened to the 911 tape,” Lopinto said. “Hearing the child make that call is pretty devastating right now, to be honest with you. … Brave little girl.”
The call brought deputies to the single-story home located in the 10000 block of Stephen Drive, near Mary Lane, around 4 a.m.
When deputies arrived, they entered the home and discovered the lifeless bodies of Pham and Amy Bohne in the hallway, along with the two injured daughters. As officers proceeded further into the house, they encountered Bohne in a back bedroom.
“Our policemen continued into the house itself and encountered the father in a back bedroom,” Lopinto explained. “He ended up producing a firearm at that time, and our deputies fired upon him, striking and killing him inside the residence.”
Sheriff Lopinto said investigators are working to understand what led Bohne to commit such a heinous act.
“I don’t have the answers that you’re looking for because I can’t imagine any answers to get us to this point,” Lopinto said. “But we’re certainly investigating.”
The sheriff noted that it is unclear what prompted the violence or whether law enforcement had previously responded to domestic violence incidents at the home.
The tragic incident has deeply affected the local community. Archbishop Chapelle High School identified the critically injured 9-year-old girl as an eighth-grade student. In a social media post, the school announced a prayer service would be held upon the students’ return to school and asked the community to “keep the Bohne family in your prayers during this difficult time.”
Sheriff Lopinto called the incident a “tragic situation” and emphasized the ongoing investigation into the events that led to the violence.
Anyone with additional information about the incident is encouraged to contact the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office.

5 dead including 3 children in Silver Rail Elementary shooting in Bend, teenage shooter killed by a Good Samaritan
BEND, Ore. — Five people were reportedly killed in a shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School in southeast Bend, Oregon, on Thursday, October 15, 2026, including three children, one adult victim, and the teenage suspect, according to preliminary information attributed to federal law enforcement.
The reported shooting prompted a major emergency response involving police, fire crews, and emergency medical services.
Authorities issued an alert at approximately 1:17 p.m., warning of a large police presence at the elementary school and urging the public to avoid the area.
According to the information provided, four victims were killed at the school. Three of those victims were children, while the fourth was an adult. The suspected gunman, described in preliminary reports as a teenager, was also reported dead, bringing the reported total to five fatalities.
The circumstances surrounding the shooting, including the identities of the victims and the suspect, had not been fully established in the information available.
Preliminary reports indicated that the suspected gunman was a teenager and was killed after being confronted by a Good Samaritan.
Earlier scanner traffic reportedly indicated that the suspect had been neutralized. Unconfirmed reports suggested that the individual who intervened may have been a father of a student at the school.
However, authorities had not publicly confirmed all the circumstances surrounding the confrontation or independently verified the reported identity and role of the person who intervened.
Investigators are expected to examine the sequence of events leading up to the shooting, how the suspect was stopped, and whether the suspect acted alone.
The first police alert was issued at approximately 1:17 p.m. Thursday. It described a large police presence at Silver Rail Elementary School and instructed the public to stay away from the area.
Fire and emergency medical services personnel were seen responding near the school as authorities worked to address the reported threat and assist those affected.
The shooting prompted urgent concern among families and the surrounding community, particularly after reports indicated that children were among the victims.
Approximately 10 minutes after the initial alert, police announced a reunification site for students and their families at Journey Church, located at 61303 S. Highway 97 in Bend, near Goodwill and Dairy Queen.
Parents and guardians were instructed to go to the designated location to reunite with students and receive further information.
Authorities urged families to follow official instructions and avoid approaching the school while emergency operations continued.
The reported shooting also prompted precautionary security measures at nearby schools. Parents received alerts indicating that Caldera High School and Jewell Elementary School had been placed on lockdown Thursday afternoon.
The lockdowns were reported as law enforcement responded to Silver Rail Elementary and worked to secure the surrounding area.
Further information was needed to establish how long the lockdowns remained in effect and when normal school operations resumed.
Although preliminary information indicated five deaths, including three children, one adult victim, and the teenage suspect, additional official confirmation is needed regarding the victims’ identities, the suspect’s identity, and the circumstances of the shooting.
The reported involvement of a Good Samaritan also requires confirmation from investigators.
This remains a developing story. Further details should be added as law enforcement and school officials release verified information about the shooting and the investigation.
