Mom, Kids Dead In Double Murder/Suicide

"JACKSONVILLE, FL — St. Johns County Sheriff David Shoar says preliminary findings of a triple homicide investigation finds that a Julington Creek woman killed her two sons and herself inside their home on Thursday.

"Donna McCulloch, 40, Daniel Rashley, 8, and William (Ben) Rashley, 7, were found shot to death in the home on Loveland Place about 4:30 p.m. Shoar said it was McCulloch's parents who discovered the body and found the bodies.

"While no suicide note was found, Shoar said all evidence points to this being a double-murder and suicide.

"`Needless to say, desperation was, I'm sure, a part of it,` Shoar said in a Friday briefing. `The truth is, we're not 100 percent sure what was going through her mind.`

"McCulloch had been confined to a wheelchair since a June 2010 car crash and also went through a contentious divorce that year."
