TENNESSEE – Authorities in Maury County, Tennessee, are still trying to find out what led a mother to kill four of her adopted children and herself in their home on Monday.

Sheriff Rowland also said it appeared to be a loving home and one that was immaculate. He said it’s very important to learn what the motive was and what would lead to someone doing this to their loved ones.
