A Kentucky mother is being held in custody at the Bullitt County Detention Center on charges of fatally shooting her two sons. Police arrested the Shepherdsville 32-year-old woman after a neighbor discovered the boys in a bedroom in her home in suburban Louisville.

To know that you killed them even though they loved you so much,” she wrote, in part. Adding, “She had to be hearing voices or some type of mental issue because this is not the Tiffany I know she would never hurt her babies!! NEVER!”
“I can’t believe this is real I can’t stop thinking about how scared they was or how much pain they was in before dying ! I swear…
