Authorities haven't said why Jamal Mansour became so enraged he fired three rounds at his youngest child. He told a judge it was an accident after his arrest Sept. 27.

Friends say Tahani Mansour was bright and energetic and had recently been hired as a clinical pharmacist by the Cleveland Clinic.

Jamal Mansour's attorney referred to a previous comment that said Mansour loved his family. Mansour was born in Jordan and came to the U.S. in 1978.
