ANGLETON, Texas (AP) — A Texas mother who shot her four children
over the weekend, killing two of them, faces murder charges,
authorities said Sunday.
The 31-year-old mother is being charged with two counts of
murder and two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly
weapon, Brazoria County Sheriff Bo Stallman told reporters. She
is being held on a $14 million bond.
Two of the children, ages 13 and 4, were fatally shot inside a
vehicle Saturday. The other children, ages 8 and 9, are in
“stable condition” after being flown by a medical helicopter to
a Houston-area hospital, Stallman said.
The children's mother called 911 to alert authorities after the
shooting, Stallman said. Authorities recovered a weapon at the
scene, he added.
“It is impossible to make sense of a senseless tragedy like
this, but we will do everything we can to seek justice for these
children,” Stallman said.
The mother is a resident of Montgomery County to the north of
Houston, he said.
The shooting took place in Angleton, a city of about 19,500 and
which serves as the county seat of Brazoria County. It is
located about 45 miles (70 kilometers) south of Houston.
