A Bucks County, Pennsylvania, woman who police say shot her two sons in the head as they slept was charged with first-degree murder on Monday.
Trinh Nguyen, 38, had planned the deaths of her sons Jeffrey and Nelson Tini, 13 and 9, at least a week in advance, authorities said, writing an updated will that included instructions on what to do with their ashes.
After the shooting, Nguyen drove to New Jersey to buy heroin, then headed to the parking lot of a church near her Upper Makefield home, prosecutors said Monday. There, they said, she took the drug, and hastily scrawled a note, saying her children were “dead in their bed,” according to the affidavit of probable cause for her arrest.
