But, said Maine State Police Sgt. Michael Harriman: &quot;We don&#39;t necessarily want to blame this on <strong>Prozac</strong>. Although she was taking it, it was just one of the medications she was on and there were a lot of factors that may have been involved here.&quot; <strong>Howard</strong> bludgeoned her husband, Paul, 45, a worker at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, then set him and the house on fire and shot herself in the head with a rifle, police say. <br />Memo:&nbsp; NEW ENGLAND NEWS BRIEFS <br />Edition:&nbsp; THIRD<br />Section:&nbsp; METRO<br />Page:&nbsp; 40<br /></div>
