Texas 'love-triangle' murder suspect tries to run from deputies after doctor appointment

Watch suspected killer Kaitlin Armstrong, who led police on a 43-day manhunt last year, attempt to outrun Travis County deputies after a doctor's appointment in Austin, Texas.

A Kentucky woman has been charged and booked into jail for allegedly fatally shooting her two young children inside her home in Shepardsville Wednesday morning, according to authorities.

In a statement, the Bullitt County Sheriff's Office says just after 11:00 a.m., deputies responded to a home for reports of a shooting.

Upon arrival, police say they located two children, ages six and nine, with gunshot wounds. 

The children were transported to a local hospital in critical condition, but officials say they succumbed to their injuries.
