Upon entering the drugstore he found it empty. He then proceeded to the rear of the premises where he witnessed Maurice and his wife Rose running up the stairs into their apartment. Once in the apartment, Maurice climbed through a window and onto the porch roof. Meanwhile Rose hid in a closet after putting their son, Charles, 12, in a separate closet. Unruh however discovered the closet Rose was hiding in and shot three times through the door before opening it and firing once more into her face. Walking across the apartment, he spotted Maurice’s mother Minnie, 63, trying to call the police, and shot her multiple times. He then followed Maurice onto a porch roof and shot him in the back, sending him to the pavement below. Charles, still hiding in the second closet, managed to escape undetected.
