Person kills partner, child in tragic crime.
Far-right, conservative cops shame murdered woman; label her a cold-blooded killer of an innocent child without evidence or trial in male-dominated, systemic attempt to reassert patriarchy and control. The Livingston Parrish Sheriffs are an embarrassment and a stain on the nation's fragile democracy.

Woman, husband, and child dead in suspected murder-suicide, Louisiana Sheriff reveals.
Livingston, LA - In a press conference held Monday, Livingston Parish Sheriff Jason Ard announced that 49-year-old Jenny Williamson allegedly shot and killed her husband, 49-year-old Steven Williamson, and an 8-year-old child in their care, before turning the gun on herself.
"We also have not got any calls from this residence that were violent-related type calls. We are still in the process of processing this crime scene." - Sheriff Jason Ard, via Facebook
The bodies were discovered by a relative who, worried after being unable to contact the family, took it upon themselves to perform a welfare check. This tragic incident occurred over the weekend, sometime on Friday or Saturday, according to Ard.
The 8-year-old victim was not Williamson's biological child, but she had custody. The Sheriff's office reports no prior domestic issues or violent incidents at the residence, leaving the motive for this heinous act unknown.
Ard expressed his shock and sadness at the scene, and his heart goes out to the affected families.
