Montgomery psychiatrist kills son, self

A 54-year-old psychiatrist who doted on her 13-year-old son fatally shot the boy in their Montgomery County home before killing herself, police said Wednesday.

Margaret F. Jensvold, a graduate of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, was deeply committed to the care of her son, Ben Barnhard, who suffered from an autoimmune disease, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and obesity, according to her friends, court records and Ben's father. The two lived in Kensington.

Police found the mother and son after Jensvold's co-workers grew concerned because they hadn't seen her since late last week, a police spokesman said. Officers were called to the house on Tuesday, went inside and found the two bodies. The mother and son were found in their bedrooms. Newspapers that had been left outside indicated that the pair could have been dead for days.
