Police: It Appears Mother Killed Family

Autopsy results from the five victims in the Emington shooting are now available.  Coroner Mike Burke says Sara McMeen died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the neck.  Burke says the handgun was still next to her hand when police arrived on the scene where she allegedly killed her family on Friday afternoon.  Burke says the autopsies showed the deposition of soot on McMeen's hand.  McMeen's boyfriend died of gunshot wounds to the back and neck, while her children died of gunshot wounds to the head and back.  Sheriff Marty Meredith says preliminary findings indicate McMeen was the sole shooter of all four victims before taking her own life.  Livingston County Sheriff's Police believe this was a murder-suicide but are still seeking help from the public.  They want to know the whereabouts of McMeen and Warren in the 24 to 48-hours prior to the shooting.  Anyone with information should call 815-844-2774 or 844-0911.
