Tim DeSpain, a police spokesman, says they are focused on finding a motive for the alleged murder-suicide.

He said the gun "legally belonged to the family, but it is still part of an ongoing investigation."

The children's bodies have been sent to the state medical examiner's office to assist in the investigation.
