A gunman allegedly demanded sex from his teenage ex before shooting her mother and stepfather dead in a horrific late-night attack.

The terror unfolded as Sean Rivera and Jazmyn Roderick argued in her bedroom.

As the row escalated, Rivera, 24, allegedly pulled out a gun and demanded sex from 19-year-old Jazmyn.

She fled to her mother’s room, but Rivera followed.

“I remember I saw bright white,” she told local media.

“I couldn’t see anything for a second, couldn’t hear anything.

“Didn’t even feel like I felt anything in a second.

“So I thought that I was dead.”

It was her mother, Kimberly Pieranunzi, who had been shot several times.

The 40-year-old died at the scene on 3 November, as reported by Need To Know.

Covered in her mum’s blood, Jazmyn managed to escape the family home in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, US, and get help from a nearby shop.

But by the time officers arrived, Kimberly’s boyfriend, Donald Roderick, had come home – and had also been shot dead by Rivera.

Police then found Rivera dead, having turned the gun on his own head after the double killing.

All officers could do was recover the murder weapon – a stolen .380-calibre handgun from Maine.

Rivera and Jazmyn had split in late October, though he was still living with her family.

She believes he got hold of the gun shortly after their breakup.

Kimberly was just six weeks away from graduating as a registered nurse from the Community College of Rhode Island.

Jazmyn’s uncle, John Bagley, described her as “a kind, compassionate person who dedicated her life to helping others in any way she could”.

An online obituary said Donald, 45, was “a hardworking and devoted man who cared deeply for his family”.

Jazmyn believes she would also have been killed if she hadn’t fled.

She told local media: “I know that none of us were supposed to live that night.”
