An mom in the midst of a bitter custody battle carried out a murder-suicide of her and her two children, police say. On Tuesday police found 31-year-old Ashley Palmer, her six-year-old daughter Kayleana Beatrice Palmer and eight-year-old son Xavier Rayvaughn Danger Palmer dead from apparent gunshot wounds in their Gresham apartment after following up on a welfare check. Police determined that Palmer carried out the gruesome killings before turning the gun on herself as she struggled to deal with the prospect of having to split custody of the children with her ex-wife.
