In a harrowing incident, a New Hampshire mother and her two sons were allegedly shot dead by her teen brother-in-law after escalating family tensions.

Prosecutors revealed in a new court document a New Hampshire mom's final words to her husband before her teen brother-in-law allegedly murdered her and her two young sons.

Eric Sweeney, who was living with his brother at the time, told police that he had taken a shower and gone downstairs to his basement bedroom when "he heard something break" and a "deep, male voice yelling followed by multiple 'pops.'"

Police quickly determined a Northfield teen had lied about someone breaking into his family’s Wethersfield Drive home and fatally shooting his sister-in-law and her two little boys last year.

In recently released court documents, prosecutors outlined the sequence of events that led to a New Hampshire teenager's arrest in the deaths of his sister-in-law and his nephews.

Kassandra Sweeney, 25, and her 4-year-old and 23-month-old sons were shot and killed in her home, allegedly by her husband’s teen brother.

The mother and her two young sons were gunned down in August 2022, allegedly by their teenage brother-in-law and uncle.

A teenager accused of killing his sister-in-law and two young nephews claimed that someone else broke into their Northfield home and killed them, according to newly released court documents.

Eric Sweeney was indicted by a Merrimack County grand jury in connection with the deaths of his sister-in-law, Kassandra Sweeney, 25, and his nephews, 4-year-old Benjamin Sweeney and 23-month-old Mason Sweeney.

A 17-year-old has been charged with fatally shooting three people, including his 1- and 4-year-old nephews, authorities told Newsweek.
