Woman Kills Mother, Dog Before Shooting Herself


"BATON ROGUE, LA —East Baton Rouge Parish deputies said a mother and daughter died in a Willow Grove Boulevard residence Tuesday afternoon in an apparent murder/suicide.

"Deputies say Karen Diamond, 47, shot and killed her mother, Eula Diamond, 84, and the family dog before shooting herself, Sheriff’s Office spokesman Savannah Williams said.

"The bodies were found when deputies received a phone call from a woman asking that they check on her friend, Williams said.

"When deputies arrived at 7812 Willow Grove Blvd. at about 2:20 p.m., they found the two women and the dog, Williams said.

"Parish Coroner Dr. Beau Clark said the two women died each from a single gunshot wound to the head.

"He said the bodies were found in a large room similar to a den on the first floor of the home.

"`It’s very tragic, very sad,` Clark said."
