Child Protective Services was conducting a surprise visit at the home and it turned deadly.
One Tiffani Butlerm, a worker at the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services explained the kids (all siblings) were in “temporary CPS care.”
According to Butlerm, CPS officials had suspected that the mom might have been having unsupervised visits with her kids, so they did an unannounced visit.
Upon conducting the surprise visit that Friday, the caseworker would end up calling 911 around 4 p.m.
When police arrived, they found three children dead, and two others injured.
According to the Ellis County Sheriff’s Office, a 6-year-old boy and 5-year-old twins (a boy and a girl) were found dead. The other two, a 4-year-old boy and a 13-month-old girl, were “seriously wounded” and rushed to local hospitals.
Ellis County Sheriff’s Deputy Jerry Cozby said that the suspect, (Hall) has been charged with three counts of capital murder and is currently being held on $2 million bond on each charge.
Butler said:
“We are shocked by this incomprehensible tragedy and already working with law enforcement to investigate how this happened and why.”
He added that “there is no danger to the public at this time” she was in the custody of operatives.
