Officers responded to the home just before 8:30 p.m. local time, where they found the bodies of Elizabeth Lawley and her unnamed son, who was just two years old, with gunshot wounds.According to Lindsey, the preliminary investigation into the"devastating" case"indicates that Lawley likely killed her son and then killed herself.
Lindsey said that she had never seen the sheriff's office"so somber" or"so devastated" as they were while they investigated the case. "Today was an extremely difficult day for the family, for our office, and for this community. And I can only imagine what the family is going through," she said. "I may just be sleep deprived, but I can't stop thinking about how precious life is," Lindsey wrote."Kiss your spouse, hug your children, call your parents and your sibling to check in with them-don't take any of it for granted…not even for a minute. Stay safe out there and take care of each other.
