A woman in the US state of Texas allegedly opened fire on four of her children, killing two of them. Officials said on Sunday that a case of murder has been registered against him.
Sheriff Bo Stallman of Brezoria County told reporters that a 31-year-old woman has been booked for murder and a serious weapon has been registered with two each and has been detained at a $ 1.4 bond.
Stallman said that two of the four children were 13 and 4 years old, who were shot dead inside a vehicle on Saturday. Other children are 8 and 9 years old, taken by a medical helicopter to a hospital in the Houston region and their condition is stable.
Stallman said that after firing, the woman had called to inform the officers. Authorities have recovered a weapon from the spot. Stallman said, it is impossible to understand such an insensitive tragedy but we will do all that we can do to provide justice to these children.
