A Washington state mother is facing attempted murder charges after she slashed the throats of her six-month-old twins and their toddler older sibling, all of whom were expected to survive, Olympia police said on Monday.
The mother, 28-year-old Christina Booth, told police in an emergency call on Sunday that her twins and two-year-old were crying and she could not get them to calm down, Olympia Police Department spokesman Jim Costa said.
Her husband, a U.S. Army soldier based at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, then came onto the phone and told police the children were bleeding from their necks and needed medical assistance at their home in the state capital, Costa said. The father has not been implicated in the attack, Costa said.
