According to the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office, a 25-year-old woman and her two sons were fatally shot at their home in Northfield. Officials said Kassandra Sweeney and her two sons, Benjamin Sweeney, 4, and Mason Sweeney, 1, each died of a gunshot wound. The medical examiner’s autopsy revealed that each of their modes of death was murder. The bodies of Sweeney and her sons were discovered Wednesday at their home at 56 Wethersfield Drive. The investigation continues through Thursday. Sources told News 9 that Northfield and state police were called to the address shortly before 11:30 a.m. Wednesday after someone reported that several people may have been injured. When officers arrived, they found the bodies of Sweeney and her two sons. There is no explanation as to why it was removed. K-9 units were also seen entering the house, and officers began searching a wooded area near the house later in the day. “Investigators believe they have identified all the individuals involved at this time and they do not believe there is any danger to the public,” said Geoffrey Ward, Assistant Secretary of State said senior law. Ward would not specifically comment on any suspects in the case. The attorney general’s office said no arrest warrants had been issued, adding that the investigation was still ongoing. This is an evolving story. It will be updated as more information becomes available.
