A Washington mother confesses to killing daughters
 

CARSON, Washington (AP) -- Detectives found the bodies of two young girls at a southwestern Washington rock pit after their mother called police to say she had killed them, authorities said.

Charlene A. Dorcy, 39, told officers Saturday evening she shot and killed her two children -- 2-year-old Brittney and 4-year-old Jessica Dorcy, Skamania County Undersheriff Dave Cox said Sunday.

Cox said Dorcy led detectives to the girls' bodies at an abandoned rock pit about 35 miles northeast of Carson.

"Our hearts are ripped out like anybody else's," Skamania County Sheriff Dave Brown said. "We have children, we are parents and cannot fathom for a moment ever doing something like this ... it digs deep inside and tears us up."

Very sad! I don't understand why some parents to do something like this.

I found an article that gives more details about this tragic story.
