Couple Killed In Reston Warned Daughter Of Boyfriend's Views

RESTON, VA — A couple killed in their home in Reston had apparently warned their daughter to stay away from her boyfriend who they believed had Neo-Nazi and white supremacist views, according to news reports.

Police announced on Saturday that a 17-year-old from Lorton had been charged in the murders of of 48-year-old Scott Fricker and his wife, 43-year-old Buckley Kuhn-Fricker. The shooting happened at a home in the 2600 block of Black Fir Court early Friday morning.

In a statement, police said the teen was known to the couple and was confronted by them inside the home. The teen turned the gun on himself after allegedly shooting the couple and is currently in the hospital in life-threatening condition.

Friends and family members who spoke to The Washington Post said Kuhn-Fricker was discovered alarming tweets and messages on Twitter she believed were connected to her 16-year-old daughter's boyfriend. According to the report in the Post, Kuhn-Fricker alerted the principal of the school her daughter and boyfriend attended.

Kuhn-Fricker's mother, Janet Kuhn, told The Post that her daughter thought the boy was indoctrinating the girl with white supremacist views.

“We can’t allow her to see someone associated with Nazis,” a friend recalled Kuhn-Fricker saying, according to the Post. “We don’t associate with hate groups in our house.”

The family reportedly staged an intervention on Wednesday with the girl and as the Post described it, "there was anger, crying and a long discussion about the Nazis," but the girl broke it off.

"My daughter and her husband found out about a lot of the Nazi stuff just this past week, and they forbid their daughter to see him again," Janet Kuhn told NBC Washington.

Janet Kuhn told the Post her daughter and son-in-law found the boyfriend in the girl's bedroom Friday morning. Fricker reportedly yelled at the boyfriend to get out when the shooting happened, according to Janet Kuhn's account.

Kuhn-Fricker owned an elder care business and Fricker worked at the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The couple had a younger son and Kuhn-Fricker had two elder children from a previous marriage.
