Three boys, ages 8, 5 and 2 months, were found stabbed to death at a north Phoenix home early Thursday, and their mother was hospitalized in critical condition with self-inflicted stab wounds, a Phoenix police spokesman said Thursday.
The older boys were found in a closet, and the infant was found in a case, said Sgt. Trent Crump, Phoenix police spokesman.
The woman, who is 29, stabbed herself in the abdomen and the neck, Crump said. He said the woman may have been pregnant with a fourth child, but he emphasized that that information was preliminary.
The family was new to the Phoenix area, Crump said, and had moved here for the birth of the 2-month-old.
Their names were not immediately available.
Crump said the woman's brother called 911 about 2 a.m. to the house in the 16000 block of North 25th Drive, in a neighborhood near Greenway Road east of Interstate 17.
Crump said the brother told officers that when he got home from work that night, he was talking to his sister in the garage. She was talking about religion and how she had found the answer, Crump said.
The brother said she then locked him out of the house and he had to force his way in, Crump said. He found her in the bathtub with multiple stab wounds. When the brother went to get towels, he said she tried to drown herself, Crump said.
When fire crews were treating the woman, she indicated that her children were with someone else, Crump said.
Neighbors described the area as relatively quiet. Jeremy Browning, who lives nearby, said the older children often were outside late at night.
"You would hear the kids until midnight sometimes, and the next morning they wouldn't come out at all," Browning said.
He said the adults in the house waved as they were driving in and out but that he had no other interaction with them.
