CLARKSTON, Wash. — A woman shot three of her children, killing one of them, then used the gun to kill herself, authorities said Saturday.

Elizabeth Duman, 31, and her 18-month-old son, Abraham, were found dead at their hillside home Thursday, and two others of her eight children were found with gunshot wounds.

Asotin County sheriff’s Lt. Dan Hally said Saturday that investigators were still trying to determine a motive. He said they did not know whether Duman had sought mental-health counseling.

Ruby Rose Duman, 3 months, remained in critical condition, and her 3-year-old brother, Johannes Duman, was in serious condition Saturday at a hospital in Spokane, authorities reported.
