3 children were found dead in a Texas home, alongside 2 injured siblings

• Three siblings were killed and two others injured in a Texas home on Friday.
• Authorities arrested a woman, believed to be their mother, and charged her with capital murder.

Texas authorities have arrested a woman and charged her with capital murder after three children were found dead in a home near Dallas, and two other children were found injured.

The Ellis County Sheriff's Office said in a statement Saturday that one 6-year-old boy and a set of 5-year-old twins — one girl and one boy — were killed.

Officers also found one 4-year-old boy and one 13-month-old girl "seriously wounded," the statement said. The children were taken to children's hospitals.

Sheriff's deputies arrested Shamaiya Deyonshana Hall, and she has since been charged with three counts of capital murder. Hall is being held in the Wayne McCollum Detention Center, and a judge set bond at $2 million for each charge.

The sheriff's department's statement said the dead and wounded children were discovered on Friday afternoon. Officials from Texas Child Protective Services had visited the home in Italy, Texas, and a CPS investigator decided to remove the children from the home.

That investigator called 911 at 4 p.m. on Friday, and by the time police officers arrived, three of the children were dead and two were injured. The local ABC affiliate WFAA reported that Hall stabbed the children after the CPS worker arrived.

The children's identities have not been released, but relatives told KDFW that all five children were siblings, and the suspect was their mother.
