A Kentucky woman who was seeking a protective order against her boyfriend was fatally shot alongside her mother on Monday morning outside the courthouse in Elizabethtown before her hearing.

Erica Riley, 37, and her mother, Janet Riley, 71, were identified by multiple news outlets as the women who were killed by Christopher Elder, 46, outside the Hardin County Justice Center.

A third family member was wounded, Elizabethtown Police Chief Jeremy Thompson told reporters on Monday. Police did not immediately respond to HuffPosts request Tuesday for an update on their condition.

After a pursuit and standoff with police, Elder fatally shot himself.
