A mother of eight used a gun against 3 of her children before turning the gun on herself in a murder-suicide. Authorities were still trying to determine a motive, and couldn’t determine whether the woman had tried to seek mental health counseling. It’s a somewhat unusual murder-suicide in that not all of the kids were shot.

Thirty-one-year-old Elizabeth Duman or Clarkston, Washington, was found dead with a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Also killed was her 18-month-old son, Abraham. Two other children,
Ruby Rose Duman, 3 months, and her 3-year-old brother Johannes Duman were also shot, and were listed in serious condition at a hospital in Spokane, Washington.
