Fairfax County Police allege that Kuhn-Fricker's boyfriend, whose name was not released offically by police due to his status as a minor entered the Frickers's residence on December 22, 2017, around 5 a.m., and when confronted by Scott and Buckley Fricker, shot them both before shooting himself.
Based on various social media posts with photos of Amelia with her boyfriend, the shooter is widely believed to be Nicholas Giampa, of Lorton, Virgina, though this has not been verified by authorities.
The shooter suffered life-threatening injuries, but survived, and remains in the hospital under police guard.
