Grandma kills her two grandsons and then herself. I have no words. Just a sick feeling deep down inside. Please, maybe keep the gun debate out of this and in one of the many gun threads.

PRESTON, Conn. (AP) — A woman who picked up her two young grandsons from daycare and was supposed to bring them home so the 2-year-old could open his birthday presents instead drove them to a neighboring town and shot and killed the children and herself, state police and family members said.
The bodies of 47-year-old Debra Denison and her grandsons, 2-year-old Alton Perry and 6-month-old Ashton Perry, were found Tuesday night in a car parked near Lake of Isles in Preston, in the southeastern part of the state.
State police called the deaths a double murder-suicide Wednesday, saying they believe Denison shot the boys and herself. Autopsies were planned.
Family members said Denison had bipolar disorder and a history of mental health problems.
Tuesday was Alton’s second birthday. Denison picked up the children from their daycare in North Stonington Tuesday afternoon and was supposed to bring them home so Alton could open his presents, family members said.
‘‘I wanted him to come home and play with his new toys and have a good day,’’ Alton’s mother, Brenda Perry, told WVIT-TV.
In Facebook postings late Tuesday and Wednesday morning, Brenda Perry thanked people for their prayers and said she loved her sons.
‘‘God (has) two beautiful angels helping him now,’’ the postings said. ‘‘My boys are in an amazing place we got a few great angels watching over us. love you Ashton and alton.’’
On Monday she wrote: ‘‘So excited making mini cupcakes and play dough for Altons day tomorrow can’t believe 2 years old already. So blessed’’
Perry and her husband, Jeremy, told WVIT that Denison had a gun and suffered from split personalities.
Denison was armed with a gun when she left her home Tuesday afternoon and had permission to pick up the boys from the daycare, state police spokesman Lt. J. Paul Vance said.
A phone message seeking comment was left Wednesday at the daycare, Kidds & Co. A posting on the daycare’s Facebook page said, ‘‘Our love and prayers are with the Perry family. Tomorrow (Wednesday) will be difficult for all of us but we are here to offer our support to all our families and staff.’’
The bodies were found at about 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, about two hours after state police issued a statewide Amber Alert for Denison and the boys.

what is the tally of gun homicides since sandy hook again? close to 3000?
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
going to be empowered to get real help for their loved ones?
I'm sorry the family allowed a woman with split personalities to own a gun
and care for their young children :? this story very sad but with proper care avoidable.
Can't imagine I'd be as...eloquent, calm? (not sure of the right word here) as the mother of those little ones.
My question where did this grandma get a gun and why take her grand kids to death with her?

Has to be something very wrong with somebody to off your own grandchildren.

Mental Health issues and access to affordable Health Care to address the Mental Health issues... probably better than being able to buy a gun at the local Wal-Mart.
I know, it does not solve the problem... but, I believe, it is a step in the right direction.
