Three children were found dead at a home in Los Angeles, the mother was questioned

A mother was arrested Sunday night after her three children were found dead in a Los Angeles home after calling 911 for a deadly gun attack.

The three children, aged between 8 and 12, were found unresponsive at a Woodland Hills home around 7:40 a.m. Sunday, LAPD officials told ABC7.

The children were pronounced dead on the spot by members of the Los Angeles Fire Department.

Their mother was detained in connection with the death, officials said.

She was later arrested and taken to a mental hospital.

The charges against the mother were pending early Monday.

A neighbor told Fox 11 that she heard screams from home before police arrived.

“I couldn’t see anyone and I kept hearing ‘My family is abusing me’ and I just heard screams, but I couldn’t understand what she was saying,” said neighbor Priscilla Canales.

It is not clear exactly how the children died. A fourth child reportedly fled to a neighbor’s home and was not injured.

Other details were not disclosed immediately by law enforcement.
