world News- A Pennsylvania mother shot her two children in the head while they slept last Monday while they were in a Philadelphia suburban home.
US authorities have said that the two children (9 and 13 years old) will remain in the hospital until their organs can be donated.
Their mother, Trinh Nguyen, 38, was also charged with attempted murder and weapons possession.
The public prosecutor's statement said the mother injured her two sons, tried to shoot her neighbour, and then ran away in a car on Monday morning.
In the details, Nguyen approached her neighbor, claiming to give her pictures to deliver her to her ex-husband. When the neighbor turned, the perpetrator tried to shoot twice, but the pistol was not fired, fortunately.
The mother ran away immediately, prompting the neighbor to call the police and search the house to find the two children covered in their blood.
Nguyen was arrested four hours after the incident as the police reported her missing as a "dangerous criminal".
The report said that Nguyen attempted suicide by taking a large dose of drugs, and that she was dealing with the rent issue with her landlord, as she owed him more than $11,000.
The Public Prosecutor confirmed that the mother's charge of murder had been raised once the life support equipment was removed from the two children.
