A 32-year-old Kentucky mother is charged with two counts of murder after two children — 6- and 9-year-old boys — were shot and killed Wednesday morning.
According to the Bullitt County Sheriff’s Office, the shooting happened just after 11 a.m. in the 200 block of Bentwood Drive in a residential area of Shepherdsville. Both boys were taken by ambulance to Norton Children’s Hospital with a police escort, where they later died.
Tiffanie Lucas, the boy’s 32-year-old mother, was arrested at 2:43 p.m. According to her arrest citation, a witness at the scene told police Lucas shot the boys.
She’s charged with two counts of murder, though police have released few details on what actually happened.
“It is horrifying that things like that go on,” said Carol Warren, who lives nearby in Shepherdsville. “I know people get aggravated, but that is just over the top. It is sad.”
No other information was released.
