Police have confirmed that three young children were murdered, their mother clinging to life, after a man she knew broke into their house and ambushed them with a gun when they got home.
The Albuquerque Police Department and the mayor held a news conference Tuesday about this tragic crime. Police Chief Gorden Eden says a 45-year-old man broke into the family’s Four Hills home Monday night and waited for the mom and her children to come home.
A 5-year-old boy, 6-year-old girl and 9-year-old boy were killed, according to police. The mom crawled for help to a neighbor’s house and is now in critical condition.
