Kevin Allen killed his wife Katherine and daughter Kerri, Before being killed by police, Cracker Barrel restaurant, Ohio

Kevin Allen, 51, shot wife Katherine, 42, and daughter Kerri, dead and critically injured their other daughter Kayla, 10, in the shooting inside the crowded Cracker Barrel restaurant in Ohio.
