Police got a 911 call of an assault in progress Saturday morning, and when they arrived, the second floor was on fire.

“Upon entry to the residence, the bodies of the 36-year-old, a 3-year-old child and a 2-year-old child were discovered," Assistant Chief Kenneth Corey said. "EMS responded and pronounced all three individuals deceased at the scene.”

Sources say the children had been drowned. All three were found together in one room of the house.

Both parents are active-duty military members.

The story is sparse on details about her partner but police have previously been called to the home for domestic disputes.

People can't cope. It seems like small things push them over the edge.

Which is what this was, not this murdering bastard not being able to cope. That isn't what "pushed him over the edge."

Just a textbook male family annihilator.
