Hagen Mills has died. He was 29 years old.

The actor, who was best known for his roles in Baskets and Swedish Dicks, died by suicide in his home in Mayfield Kentucky on Tuesday.

According to Sky News, authorities responded to a call and found Erica Price, the mother of Hagen’s 4-year-old daughter, who told them the 29-year-old had shot at her before taking his own life. She had gunshot wounds in both her arm and chest but is in stable condition, reports Deadline.

Mayfield police said Erica’s mother and her daughter with Hagen were also involved and held in the house by Hagen until Erica arrived and he shot at her. They were unharmed.

The motive behind the attack is unknown, but it is being treated as an attempted murder-suicide, reports E! News.

Hagen was due to star in the independent horror film, Star Light, set for release this August. It follows a teen whose life has been turned upside down when he helps a famous pop star on the run.
