Texas mother facing capital murder charges after allegedly shooting her two sons to death

Colleen Nichole Lemmon, 42, was taken into custody and charged with two counts of capital murder, according to the Ellis County Sheriff's Office.

Upon arriving at the scene, deputies discovered two male victims with gunshot wounds inside the residence.

Christopher Scott Pitre, 21, was pronounced dead at the scene. The second victim, a 15-year-old boy, was taken to a hospital in critical condition, where he later died.

Deputies said they also found Lemmon suffering from non-life-threatening injuries.

Lemmon allegedly told officers, "I shot both my kids."

She was arrested and transported to a local hospital for treatment, authorities said.

Ida Brown, a neighbor, described the killings as "heartbreaking."

"It's heartbreaking, and I'm praying for them," she told FOX 4.

"My deepest sympathies go out to the victims' father, family members, and loved ones involved in this tragic incident," Norman said in a statement. "They will remain in our prayers during this difficult time."

Lemmon is being held on a $2.5 million bond.
