A mother fatally shot her wheelchair-bound teenage daughter before turning the gun on herself in an alleged murder-suicide.

Police were alerted to the incident after the woman’s boyfriend, 35, returned home from work and found both her and her 16-year-old daughter dead around 10.30pm on Friday.

A note written by the mother, 36, – named by neighbors Sarah Cieslikowski – was found by police at the house in Bonney Lake, Washington.

Patsy Warner, a neighbour, said that she often heard the two arguing in the garden when the school bus arrived but could not believe what had happened.

‘I can’t comprehend it. I just can’t,’ she told King 5 News.

‘Even though she was a handful, I’m sure, I can’t comprehend that.’

Ed Troyer, Pierce County sheriff’s spokesman, said that although the police investigation was ongoing a murder-suicide was likely.

He said: ‘There’s nothing to tell us any different at this point.’

Sad, sad, sad…
