Ohio mother in murder-suicide took depression meds

CARROLLTON, OHIO — A coroner in a rural area of northeast Ohio says a woman suspected of killing her two young children before taking her own life had been taking medication for depression.

Carroll County Coroner Mandal Haas said Thursday that the woman hadn't given any indication that she would kill her 18-month-old son and 6-year-old daughter.
