Re: This just made me so sad

  • That is sad :(  Sounds like maybe the mom went crazy and shot the kids and... grandma?

  • This is really sad.  Usually, the father of the children is the one who would perpetuate this type of crime. 
  • Not true... there are tons of stories of mothers killing their children (unfortunately).

  • It's just so sad to think of the poor husband/dad who had to call police because he knew "something wasn't right" and then to find that she had killed them all, just over a custody dispute.  It's terrible.

  • This is horrible... just to keep the news straight - the article insinuates that it was the grandma who shot all and then herself.  If her son was the father, who did not live at home, then the 37 year old visiting was her DIL. Sounds more feasible that she would kill all and not the mother...

    Still, whatever it is, the fact that anyone would shoot a baby is just horrible.

  • I didn't read it that way.  I think it was the husband and wife's house.  It says the owner of the house who wasn't there, the husband and father of the children, is the one who called police.  So I am assuming mom and the kids lived there, maybe Grandma did too or was just visiting.  But it was the family home, not Grandma's.  At least that's the way I read it.  Either way, the story is sad and tragic no matter who did the shooting.

  • The link didn't work for me, but I gather it's a story about a mother killing her children and herself? Sadly does happen, particularly in cases where the mother is suffering depression (often postnatal) or psychosis.
