LEBANON, Mo. (AP) -- Police in the Missouri town of Lebanon are investigating the death of a mother and her two young children as a possible murder-suicide.

The Springfield News-Leader reported that police found the bodies of the 28-year-old woman, her 5-year-old daughter and 5-month-old son on Thanksgiving Day. Officers made the discovery while responding to a report of a possible suicide at the home.
