A Clermont County neighborhood is trying to come to grips with the unthinkable after three little boys were killed. They were just 3, 4, and 7 years old. "We're told these children were talented athletes and loved baseball. Their coaches are remembering these incredible kids. You can't help but think of all the memories you had," assistant baseball coach, Brandon Allen said. "This 7-year-old was so full of life," head baseball coach Dwayne Kuhn said.Allen coached the Doerman's 4-year-old in tee ball. "They're more than teammates and they're more than friends. You become more of a little family," Allen said.Kuhn saw the pitcher in the 7-year-old lefty as his baseball coach."He was feisty and when he was at bat he was feisty and I could see him on the mound just being a feisty left-hander," Kuhn said.On Thursday, the unthinkable happened. These brothers were shot and killed. Their father, Chad Doerman, has been charged with their murders. "Just so tragic how things were cut short because I really think the sky was the limit. He was really gifted for a 4-year-old," Allen said.The day before the shooting, the whole family was at the field. Kristin Bennett, who's the president of the New Richmond Sports Association says she interacted with Chad Doerman after one of the games. "He was telling the boys to get in their car seats. Be safe. You would have not thought anything. Just normal typical conversations with another family on the ball field," Bennett said.As coaches, they guide players and help strategize. This situation is too much to bear."They were quintessential boys. They were good boys. They loved playing ball, just everything you would want in a little guy that you're coaching," Allen said.The New Richmond Youth Sports Association is raising money for the Doerman Family.
