I think this world would be a much better place if parents who want to take their children with when they commit suicide would do themselves first - just to make sure it works! MOO
Lisa Lesyshen pleads not guilty by reason of insanity to murder charges in her son's death
A mother who survived shooting herself after allegedly killing her son entered a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity Thursday.
Lisa Lesyshen, who is charged with first-degree murder and child abuse resulting in death, is accused of killing her 9-year-old son on May 29, 2013. Asher Lesyshen-Kirlan was found shot to death in the home in Stagecoach.
Judge Michael O'Hara accepted Lseyshen's plea Thursday and ordered her to be evaluated by a state-appointed psychiatrist, according to the 14th Judicial District Attorney's office. That evaluation aims to determine if she was incapable of distinguishing right from wrong or incapable of acting with the requisite culpable mental state.
The results of her mental health evaluation are due by May 21, 2014.

Deputies from the Routt County Sheriffs Office were called to a home on a report of an attempted suicide with multiple victims at 2:55 a.m.
Investigators say the resident of the home, Michael Kirlan met deputies and told them his son was dead inside the house, and his wife, Lisa Marie Lesyshen, 45, was upstairs with a gun.
They found the boy, 9-year-old Asher and then his mother. She was unconscious with a gunshot wound. Paramedics took her to the Yampa Valley Medical Center for treatment.

Lesyshen was taken to Yampa Valley Medical Center, and investigators found three shell casings where she had been laying.
*Is it odd that she would shoot her son 3 times and then pick up the shell casings and carry them with her to her room?
