In what appears to be a triple murder-suicide, an Oklahoma mother shot her three children, the youngest of whom was only 10 months old, before turning the gun on herself, according to the authorities. According to a press statement issued by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, the Verdigris Police Department conducted an investigation into a residence on Thursday after officers spotted fireworks going off outside.
According to the bureau, once they arrived, they found Brandy McCaslin, who was 39 years old at the time, armed and barricaded inside the Verdigris residence. According to the OSBI, after a standoff that lasted for three hours, the police then started negotiating with McCaslin. Officers went into the house after waiting for a response but getting none.
According to the bureau, when authorities entered the residence, they found McCaslin dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound inside the home, along with the bodies of her three children, ages ten months, six years, and eleven years old. All of the children had been shot to death. The investigation led to the conclusion that McCaslin shot and killed her three children before turning the gun on herself, according to the police.
