Two Pennsylvania boys are on life support after their mother allegedly shot them in the head while they were in bed at home in a Philadelphia suburb, authorities say.
Two Pennsylvania boys were on life support Monday after their mother shot them in the head while they were in bed at home in a wealthy Philadelphia suburb, authorities said Monday.
Authorities said in a probable cause affidavit filed in local district court that their mother, Trinh Nguyen, 38, also tried to shoot her neighbor in the head before she fled in a white minivan Monday morning.Nguyen was taken into custody around 11:30 a.m., about four hours after authorities responded to a 911 call from the neighbor, the district attorney's office said in a release.Nguyen was charged with three counts of attempted criminal homicide, authorities said.
According to the affidavit, authorities were dispatched to a home in Upper Makefield Township shortly after 7 a.m. when a man reported that he'd been leaving to go work when his neighbor, Nguyen, approached him with a box of photos. When the neighbor turned around, Nguyen pointed a black revolver at his face and pulled the trigger twice, the affidavit alleges. The gun didn't fire, it says.
