Texas mother charged with murder after fatally shooting her two sons
A mother in Texas fatally shot her two sons and then attempted suicide, according to police. The 42-year-old woman, Colleen Lemon, was arrested and charged with two counts of murder. The victims were identified as 21-year-old Christopher Peetr and his 15-year-old brother, Brian Peetr. The younger brother was initially transported to a hospital in critical condition but later died. Police found Lemon covered in blood with self-inflicted wounds to her wrists and a pistol nearby. Lemon reportedly confessed to officers at the scene, saying "I shot both of my children." She was taken to the Wayne McCollum Detention Center in Waco, Texas. The motive for the shooting remains unclear, and the charges against her could carry the death penalty.
