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.

There were four other people in the house during the shooting, but they were not hurt, ABC 7 reports.

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.

According to ABC 7, the family moved into this home just a few months ago.
