LOS ANGELES – A mother in Los Angeles has been taken into custody after her three children ages 8- to 12-years-old were found dead at their home on Mother’s Day, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
Police responded to the home in the 22500 block of Victory Boulevard around 7:40 a.m. on Sunday regarding an assault with a deadly weapon, KTLA reported.
Upon arrival, officers discovered three children — two boys and a girl — unresponsive at the residence, according to LAPD Officer Orris.

The news outlet said a fourth child — described as a teenage son — discovered the horrible crime scene and ran to ran to a neighbor’s house for help.
According to LAPD, the unidentified mother was taken to a hospital for a mental health evaluation prior to being arrested Sunday night.
“I couldn’t see anybody, and I kept hearing, ‘My family is abusing me,’ and just kept hearing screaming, but I couldn’t make out what she was saying,” neighbor Priscilla Canales told the outlet.
According to paramedics, the children had been dead for several hours before they arrived, Fox 11 reported.
A neighbor, Steven Hayes, spoke with both Fox 11 and KTLA. He said, “They were nice people. … There was no reason to suspect anything. … You would never think anything of it.”
“The lady was out walking around, talking incoherently,” Hayes continued.
When asked by a reporter if it was pretty shocking, Hayes replied, “Hell yes.”
LAPD said the investigation is ongoing and additional details were not immediately available.
