Trinh Nguyen, 38, was arrested for unreasonable violence after she left the shooting scene in Newtown and drove to the parking lot of a nearby church, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported, citing prosecutors. The mother had swallowed drugs in a failed suicide attempt, the report said. He was hospitalized and later charged with three counts of attempted murder. The Nguyen boys, aged 9 and 13, were seriously injured and are being held in life support so their organs can be donated, the report said. After allegedly shooting the children in their bedrooms, a neighbor who heard the shots found the woman sitting on the front lawn with a box of photos, County Attorney Bucks Matt Wintraumb told reporters at a news conference. Nguyen asked her neighbor, who identified himself as Gianni Melchiondo, 22, to hand over the photos to her ex-husband, who works with the man. After Melchiondo agreed, the troubled mother allegedly pulled out a black revolver, aimed it at her neighbor and pulled the trigger twice, according to Weintraub. The gun did not fire and Melchiondo pulled the gun away from the woman. After allegedly shooting the children, a neighbor who heard gunshots from the house at 119 Timber Ridge Road found the woman sitting on the front lawn. FOX 29
