A Colorado mom is behind bars after she fatally stabbed her two teenage children on Dec. 30, chasing after one of them to the parking lot.
Claudia Camacho-Duenas, 37, was subdued by a witness outside the Soccer Field Road apartment unit where she had killed her son and daughter, aged 11 and 18.
Both teens sustained “significant injuries” and were pronounced dead shortly after arriving at the hospital.
“This type of violence is uncharacteristic for our community and our first responders (Police/Fire) are personally affected by this event,” The Glenwood Springs Police Department said.
“We recognize this affects everyone in our community and we mourn this inexplicable loss of life of these two very young people.”
Police Chief Joseph Deras added: “We are very saddened to report this tragedy in our community yesterday, particularly in a traditional time of celebration during the holiday season.”
