Hollywood star Hagen Mills allegedly shot the mother of his child before killing himself in an alleged attempted murder-suicide, Mail Online has reported.
The 29-year-old actor, who played Lucky in Zach Galifianakis US comedy Baskets, reportedly shot himself after trying to murder former partner Erica Price, 34, at her resident in Mayfield on Tuesday evening.
Erica was allegedly shot by the actor in both the arm and chest but managed to survive and call emergency services.
According to The West Kentucky Star, Erica is the mother of Mils’ four-year-old daughter, Mila.
Mills allegedly held Price’s mother and young daughter inside until she got home, shooting her when she got to the residence, before turning the gun on himself.

Despite his success in Hollywood, Mills frequently returned home to Kentucky, where Erica resided.
The couple began dating in 2012, and welcomed their daughter in 2016. It’s unclear when the pair split.
