A Reno woman says her husband suffered a mental breakdown before he killed their two young sons and turned a gun on himself at their home in northwest Reno.

Ashley Deane released a statement on Monday after Reno police confirmed the identities of the victims of Saturday's shootings: Her husband, Rob Deane, and sons,  Jacob, 7, and Austin, 2. Police said all three died from gunshot wounds.

Officer Tim Broadway said Monday detectives were continuing to investigate the case as a homicide and would have no further comment.
