Shootings in Grant County ruled murder-suicide

LANCASTER - The shooting of a mother and her two young sons in Grant County has been ruled a murder-suicide.

Twenty-seven-year-old Morgan Slaight died of her injuries Tuesday. Her 6-year-old son, Jaxon, died after being shot in Montfort Jan. 2. Her 8-year-old son, Joseph, remains at UW Hospital in Madison in critical condition.

Sheriff Nate Dreckman says all three were shot in the head with a .22 caliber pistol. Sheriff's officials said Friday there's evidence the mother handled the gun, which was recovered at the scene.
