18-year-old high school senior\u00a0Jakob Mumper<\/strong> out of Bloomington North High School in Indiana was shot and killed in an apparent murder-suicide by his father, 61-year-old Jeff Mumper, according to a report from WTHR in Indianapolis<\/a>.\u00a0Police believe that early Sunday inside the family\u2019s home, the 61-year-old father shot and killed his 54-year-old wife Greta, his 26-year-old daughter Emma, and his 18-year-old son Jakob.<\/p>\n

Jakob Mumper was a rising senior swimmer at Bloomington North High School, where he was 18th in both the 50 (21.24) & 100 freestyle (46.86) at the 2020 IHSAA state championships<\/a>. Mumper helped his 200 freestyle relay team place 13th at the state meet as he anchored in a 20.76. He also anchored the 400 free relay team to finish 22nd.<\/p>\n

Mumper’s club teammates at Indiana Swim Club paid their respects to his family:<\/p>\n

“Even like thinking about it I’m shaking,\u201d Kristina Paegle <\/strong>told WTHR.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy stomach hasn’t stopped hurting,\u201d Delani Fisher<\/strong> said. \u201cI think it’s worse that it’s not like a natural cause.”<\/p>\n

“We love him, and we want all of the people who really care about him and all that…we know that he has a place in their heart,\u201d Will Renn<\/strong> said. \u201cHe will fly because of them.”<\/p>\n

Jakob Mumper was coached by former Indiana swimmer and Bloomington North alum Max Irwin<\/strong>, who was hoping Mumper would break his school records.<\/p>\n

“Those were my records from when I went through,\u201d Irwin told WTHR. \u201cSo, to have coached someone who’s now better than me, that’s kind of what you really want as a coach. So, it’s a tough loss on so many levels, the athletics being one of the lesser levels for sure.”<\/p>\n

Friends say their father, Jeffrey, had beaten prostate cancer, but was now battling pancreatic cancer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Police have not released a motive for the shooting, according to WTHR. The Monroe County coroner is expected to perform autopsies after the Labor Day weekend.<\/p>\n
