Phoenix police: 3 children found dead, mother arrested

PHOENIX, AX (AP) — Authorities say a Phoenix woman has been arrested on suspicion of killing her three children.

They were found dead inside the family home on Monday.

Police say the 22-year-old mother, whose name has not been released, admitted to harming her three children.

She was in the process Tuesday morning of being booked on three counts of first-degree murder. It was not known if she has an attorney.

A relative who lives at the residence called police and officers found a 7-month-old girl, 2-year-old girl and 3-year-old boy.

The children were pronounced dead after officers administered CPR and fire officials provided first aid.
