Connecticut Woman Shoots Grandkids, Then HerselfA WOMAN who picked up her two young grandsons from daycare drove them to a neighbouring town and shot and killed the children and herself.The bodies of 47-year-old Debra Denison and her grandsons, 2-year-old Alton Perry and 6-month-old Ashton Perry, were found on Tuesday night in a car parked near Lake of Isles in Preston, Connecticut.State police called the deaths a double murder-suicide, saying they believe Denison shot the boys and herself. Autopsies were planned.Family members said Denison had bipolar disorder and a history of mental health problems.Tuesday was Alton's second birthday. Denison picked up the children from their daycare in North Stonington on Tuesday afternoon and was supposed to bring them home so Alton could open his presents, family members said."I wanted him to come home and play with his new toys and have a good day," Alton's mother, Brenda Perry, told WVIT-TV.This is a very sad story.Having three beautiful grandkids myself, I can't even imagine something like this.Apparently the family knew that this woman was very ill and owned a gun, so why was she allowed to pick up the kids by herself?Note to Chuck,Please spare me the lecture about how this woman is entitled to the FREEDOM to own a gun.
