A mother who allegedly killed her two children went to a police station to use a payphone, call 911, and confess to the crime, authorities said. According to officers in Irving, Texas, 30-year-old Madison McDonald told the 911 operator that she sedated her daughters ages 1 and 6, and then tucked them into bed and smothered them.

According to Officer Robert Reeves, the ordeal was a hard one to process. “Anytime you go out on a scene like this, and you witness two young children that are deceased, that obviously is a call that stays with you.”
