On Tuesday, a North Carolina mom and her three children were found dead inside their home in what police believe was a murder-suicide. The mom, 40-year-old Ethal Syretha Steele, died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Her three children – ages 9, 12, and 14 – were found dead with gunshot wounds inside the home. 

And last week, a mom in Houston shot and killed her 15-year-old daughter before turning the gun on herself.
