TABERNACLE, N.J. (AP) — Mourners said their goodbyes Saturday to three children fatally shot by their mother before she killed herself at their southern New Jersey home.

VANCOUVER - A young Vancouver woman who killed her two infant sons was afflicted with a "disturbed mind" in the moments following childbirth, a judge concluded Tuesday as she imposed a five-year prison term for infanticide.
But the judge could offer little else to explain why Sarah Leung killed the babies, giving birth twice in the bathroom of her parents' home before wrapping each baby in plastic. She left one propped against a neighbour's house in the spring of 2009, while she threw the second, born less than a year later, in the trash.

LONDON - A Latvian migrant living rough in a city graveyard has admitted burying her newborn baby alive after police decided they couldn't help her.
Elita Amantova, 39, was living off berries and bread left out for the birds in Tooting, south-west London, before she gave birth to the child in 2012, a court heard.
The tragic death was discovered after a fox dug up the baby on Tooting Common and dumped body parts in a nearby tractor yard.
At a hearing at the Old Bailey, Amantova admitted infanticide and was sentenced to a hospital order.
The court heard she had been diagnosed with a schizophrenia-type mental condition in Latvia in her 30s but it was exacerbated by childbirth.
