SILVER SPRINGS, Nevada (AP) -- Authorities are investigating whether a man sexually abused his three daughters after he shot his estranged wife in the face and kidnapped the teenagers at gunpoint.
One of the teens fatally shot Walter N. Ball Wednesday night as he slept in his car, about 30 miles east of Carson City, police said. He apparently had been drinking heavily.
Ball's daughters, ages 13, 16 and 19, led officers to the body, Lyon County Sheriff's Capt. Jeff Page said. He declined to reveal which of them fired the fatal shot.
"These girls were scared to death. They believed they were going to die," he said, adding that no charges were pending against them.
The teens' mother, Cindy Ball, called police early Wednesday to say she had been shot and her children kidnapped by Ball, who was out on bail for charges of sexual assault and incest.
Ball had handcuffed a teenage son and another daughter before forcing the three other daughters at gunpoint to disrobe and leave with him, Page said.
"This is simply the most evil thing I've ever heard of in my career," he said.
The 43-year-old Ball had been released on bail last week on felony charges of sexual assault, incest and assault with a deadly weapon.
He had been served with a temporary protective order June 1, brought against him by one of his daughters, the Nevada Appeal reported. In the order, the teen said her father had held a gun to her head and pulled the trigger after sexually assaulting her. The weapon was apparently empty at the time.
The teens were taken to a Reno hospital with unspecified injuries Wednesday. Cindy Ball underwent surgery and was listed in stable condition at the hospital.
The newspaper also reported that before Ball shot his wife and abducted his daughters, he went to the home of family friend Norma Clemensen and beat the sleeping woman.
How does SCUM like this even get the chance for BAIL!!?!??! The judge who granted bail should have to look those girls in the face and say he's sorry. Oh ya, alot of good that "protective order" did. At least the guy is dead!
