Death of New Mother & Infant Son in Alabama

On December 19, 2007 at 7pm, Jennifer Gibbs Bankston of Birmingham, Alabama shot her 7-week-old baby Graham, and then shot herself.  Both died from their wounds.  It is believed that Jennifer was suffering from some form of postpartum depression.  I am currently researching to get more information on what happened and what Ms. Bankston was going through.  From what I can tell, Jennifer was absolutely adored by all, and she and her husband Dr. Larry Bankston were very excited and happy about the birth of their baby boy.  Their entire family is in complete shock.  They are starting a foundation called Jenny's light, on which I hope to provide you more info soon.  In the meantime, if you'd like to offer support to the families by signing the guest book linked to Jennifer and Graham's obituaries, the link is here:http://www.legacy.com/theadvocate/DeathNotices.asp?Page=LifeStory&PersonID=100003217)

There but for the grace of God go we.
