A Texas woman who admitted to suffocating her two young daughters is charged with head murder, authorities said.
Madison McDonald, 30, was arrested Monday in connection with the deaths of Lillian Mae McDonald, 1, and Archer Hammond, 6, police in the Dallas suburb of Irving said. She is charged with two counts of murdering a person under the age of 10.
McDonald allegedly visited an Irving police station around 10pm and called 911 from a telephone in the lobby to admit that she had killed the children by ‘suffocating’ police on Tuesday.
According to Texas authorities, Madison McDonald, 30, admitted Monday night that she had strangled her two young children.

“This is what she believes as how she killed the two girls,” police officer Robert Reeves said.
Officers were sent to the police portal and her home, where they confirmed that both girls were dead. A medical examiner will later determine the cause of death.
Reeves described McDonald as “very calm” during her conversation with investigators. Authorities have not identified a motive for the killings.

“This is a horrific incident where two children were killed,” Reeves said. “We may never know the reason, because there will not be a definition or reason that justifies the murder of two small children.”
McDonald is being held in jail in Irving City. Authorities were called to her apartment earlier in the past, Reeves said without elaborating.
