Arizona Mother Arrested For Shooting Her Two Young Children

Police Handout

Police arrested the 25-year-old mom after she shot and killed her 17-month-old son and four-year-old daughter — how awful.

Police were called on August 11 after Perla Morales, 25, shot her children Richard Rosovich Jr., 17 months, and Emma Rosovich, 4.

After shooting her two children, Perla shot herself but her injuries were not life-threatening.

The 17-month-old was pronounced dead at the scene. Perla’s daughter was sent to the hospital but later died from her injuries.

“Initial indications were that the mother of the children was home alone with them when the incident occurred,” according to Sgt. Maria Hawke, a Tuscon police spokesman.

“While in the residence with both kids, she retrieved a handgun and shot both of her children. The injuries that she sustained appeared to be self-inflicted, but were not life-threatening,”

According to police,the investigation is ongoing and the motive is still unknown.

What’s happening in the world when you have to protect children from their own mother? Tell me something…is she wearing a straight jacket? She looks crazy and what she did is even crazier…the devil had a hand in this tragic event. Anytime I felt like really harming my kids I removed myself from the situation consequently my daughter is 32 and my son is 27! Its to bad she didnt put a bullet in that head of hers we all would be better off!

We are all sinners…we all make mistakes and there is no such thing as a perfect person, at least not in this world. Who are all you to judge Perla Morales for killing the children ? Only God and the children and Perla know what really happened . My thoughts and prayers are with the beautiful children that are in heaven and the family. Instead of judging and accusing why don’t we all look at our own flaws and correct our lives and mistakes .

Im related to these two babies and all though its a tragic situation we dnt know why she did what she did…only God and her know the reason for why she did it…u shouldn’t believe everything the news say because u nor i know what was going through her head or what really happened that caused her to snap…just like any mom she was ur average typical mom who may have been going thru issues that we may have not noticed…so plz be respectful …n im not saying it was ok bcuz we did lose two beautiful angels but its out of respect for the family that u dnt start making remarks unless u know the real facts..thank u

so its justifiable to kill your kids because your going through a bad time. reguardless if you knew her or not as a mother we go through whatever life gives us to be there for your kids protect them and keep them safe that last thing any mother can imagine is losing there child and she takes it into her own hands to kill them.nothing in this world can ever justify killing.

terrible she is so ugly with a big eipo Ears. Rats in jail And somebody should beat her butt in jail to knock her lip & teeth out.

Wow, its hard to understand why you are talking about her ears and hoping they beat her up. May God help you become a better person, and take away all the darkness inside you. Hope God never puts you in Perla Morales shoes… do you know that by judging her you May someday have depression and overwhelming situations and be in a similar situation . I will also keep you in my prayers, May God touch your heart and make you a bette
r person.

She gonna be in Jail for the Rest OF her Damn F*Cking Life and She Should Never had kids in the First place or else She could have gave her two kids to their Father
