On Mother’s Day in 2011, Annamaria Magno Gana, a 43-year-old woman living in Tustin Ranch, California, fatally shot her 72-year-old husband and attempted to kill their two sons.

Diagnosed with cancer and facing serious personal and financial stress, she reported planning a murder-suicide, believing that if she were to die, her family should “go together.” Her case drew attention to the intersection of illness, mental health, and domestic tragedy.
