A teacher killed her husband and her baby son and lay with their bodies for two days after a botched suicide attempt.

Erin Agren shot partner Michael Jordan and their 17-month-old son Miles at their home in Washington.

She then turned the gun on herself but only managed to shoot herself in the shoulder, KIRO reports.

The 43-year-old lay on the floor of the home with the corpses of her family for two days until she was found by an estate agent who arrived to show the house.

Realtor Steve Mullenix heard screaming coming from the master bedroom as he prepared to show potential buyers around the property at 3pm on Sunday, Q13Fox.com reports.

He found the father and infant son dead in a bed with Agren lying on the floor nearby.

Police said the mother, who suffers from mental health issues including paranoia, later confessed to the killings, Fox reported.

Agren, a teacher at nearby Lummi Nation School, is currently being treated for a gunshot wound in hospital.

She faces two counts of first degree murder.

In a statement on Facebook, the school, where Mr Jordan also taught, said; 'Lummi Nation School is deeply sadden by the loss of an incredibly dedicated and beloved teacher.

'Our thoughts, prayers and love go out the family and to the students and staff of the Lummi Nation School.'
