Wife shoots dead her husband and their eight-year-old son before turning gun on herself
Police say a mother shot and killed her husband and autistic eight-year-old son before turning the gun on herself.
Jenny Williamson, 49, was found dead Monday morning in their home near Albany, Louisiana, along with Steven Williamson, 49, and their infant son Jio.
Livingston Parish Sheriff Jason Ard said they were killed Friday night or early Saturday morning in the remote home surrounded by woods.
A family member found the bodies when they arrived at the house, but were unable to locate the couple.
Jio was said to be the son of one of Jenny’s relatives and she and her husband had custody of him. She also had two adult sons.

The couple married in February 2022 after 19 years of togetherness
Photos shared online show the couple taking Jio to Disney World, Dollywood and festivals, and dressing up for Halloween.
Jenny appeared to be a loving wife and mother and showed no signs of dissatisfaction on social media.
“I love you more than words can express,” she wrote about her husband on his birthday last August, which she celebrated with Jio and two beautiful cakes.
Jenny also celebrated her wedding anniversary in February, just two years after their marriage, despite having been together for 21 years.
It is believed that Jio is the son of one of Jenny’s relatives and that she and her husband had custody of him

The family moved across the lake from New Orleans last June, paying $293,000 for the three-bedroom house on West Bates Road.
According to Ard, there was no violence in the house.
“This is horrible. I mean, this is something you never want to see. I’m sure everyone has questions,” he said.
“Every time you see scenes like this, you think something has to be done.”
It was thought that Jenny had psychological problems, but the police could not yet say anything about this.
An investigation is underway into the suspected murder-suicide.
Livingston Parish Sheriff Jason Ard said they were killed Friday night or early Saturday morning in the remote home surrounded by woods.
