PHILADELPHIA (AP) ? A Philadelphia woman is being questioned by police who say she suffocated her 18-month-old twins, named Adam and Eve, in the family home.
Authorities say a 4-year-old girl at the home also was given some kind of medication before the mother cut her own wrists Thursday.
The older girl was hospitalized. The toddlers' bodies were carried from the home, wrapped in white cloth.
A police spokesman says the woman told officers she had harmed her children.
Investigators are not identifying the woman because no charges have been filed.
