"He always waves, and we tell him hi, and they come back by, and I have a little Yorkie, and sometimes she’ll stop and ask if she can pet the puppy, and so she’ll come up and pet the puppy and stuff," the neighbor said. "Seeing them Friday, they were happy, and on their way telling us hi and bye, and figuring I would see them again Monday afternoon."
The neighbor said she never saw any red flags.
"They looked like just happy kiddos. Nothing out of the ordinary at all," she said. "Just heartbreaking to think that anything could be so bad that you have to take your children’s life. I don’t understand."

That's pretty early in the morning. I wonder what led up to this?

From your article:

Oninda Romelus, 31, called 911 around 4:48 a.m.

Romelus, the mother of all four children, is accused of shooting them inside a vehicle. Investigators don't believe the gas station is where the shooting took place.

BCSO said a 13-year-old and a 4-year-old were killed in the shooting and an 8-year-old and a 9-year-old were flown to a hospital in critical condition. At last check, officials said the 8-year-old and 9-year-old are expected to survive.

Investigators say Romelus initially told them she “couldn’t talk about it,” then said, “Instead of them doing it to me, I’m gonna do it to them.” When an investigator asked, “Do what?” she responded, “Kill them all,” records show. When asked again why she called 911, Romelus said she did not call 911 but instead “called the devil.”

Pausing a moment to pray for the two childen who survived. May they recover fully (and it would be nice if they don't have memories of what actually happened in that car).
