Cruz said a male resident had called 911. The man had reported that the woman had jumped out of a window.

The surviving child’s current condition was not disclosed. Their mother also remains hospitalized.
“This is an unimaginable, senseless tragedy and it is an ongoing investigation,” Cruz said.

He said the woman was the mother of the three children, but no more information was released.
Duxbury resident Tom McGrath said, “It’s sort of like, how can this happen around here? But you put yourself in the man’s place, and can’t imagine how devastating that is.”
Cruz would not comment on whether the children’s mother is a suspect.
“It’s an ongoing investigation and we will see where that leads us,” Cruz said. “We’re in the process right now of getting information regarding our search warrants, making sure we do everything we need to do to get into the house lawfully to make the determinations that we have to make.”
