OMAHA, Nebraska (Reuters) – A rural Nebraska mother suffering from depression stabbed her husband and 12-year-old daughter to death before killing herself, authorities said on Monday.

Saunders County Attorney Scott Tingelhoff said Tim and Toni Hindman and their daughter Ardena all died from knife wounds inflicted by Toni Hindman.

Tingelhoff said Toni Hindman, 45, had been suffering from depression when she bought a knife and killed her daughter and 47-year-old husband in their rural Ithaca house. Ithaca is located about 25 miles north of Lincoln and 32 miles west of Omaha.

Authorities had previously said that a fire in the home was intentionally set but that neither the flames nor smoke killed the Hindmans. Their deaths were investigated as a crime.

The fire was reported by a passer-by shortly before noon February 20. Firefighters found the bodies in different rooms of the house.

Wow, no background check?
Close the loopholes.

I'm guessing they had none in the kitchen already?

It was reported that Toni Hindman bought a hunting knife.

Now you've done it! All the Mexican drug cartel members will be
driving to Nebraska to buy their hunting knives.

American needs to restrict the sale of hunting knives because
Mexico has a problem.
