LONE TREE, Colo. -- Investigators said Thursday afternoon that Jennifer Laber died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Her two young boys died from single gunshot wounds.

Lone Tree police said she purchased a handgun Tuesday afternoon one hour before picking up her boys at their schools and then going missing.

Police found that handgun inside the minivan where the three bodies were found Wednesday morning. The Douglas County coroner said the manner of their deaths remained under investigation.

. . .

Laber was last seen picking up her sons from Bear Canyon Elementary School in Highlands Ranch about 2 p.m. Tuesday. The Douglas County Sheriff's Office said the children were pulled out of a school about an hour early, but it's not known why.
