SAN ANTONIO -- A Texas woman unable to qualify for food stamps for
months walked into a state welfare office with a gun, then shot her
two children and killed herself during a seven-hour standoff,
officials said Tuesday.

The children, a 10-year-old boy and a 12-year-old girl, were in
critical condition Tuesday, Laredo police investigator Joe Baeza said.

The standoff began around 5 p.m. Monday afternoon. Baeza said the
woman was speaking with two employees when she pulled out a gun and
said she wanted to speak to a supervisor. When the supervisor arrived,
he convinced her to let the employees go in exchange for keeping him.

Meanwhile, about 25 other people were moved to safety, police said.

The identity of the mother and children were still not made public as
of early Tuesday afternoon.

Texas Health and Human Services spokeswoman Stephanie Goodman said
Tuesday the woman first applied for assistance in July. Goodman said
the mother was denied because she didn't submit enough information.

Goodman said the mother called the office in mid-November to check on
her case. That was apparently the last time she tried contacting the
state before Monday's shooting, Goodman said.

Goodman said the woman specifically requested to speak with a
different caseworker, other than the one she had been working with,
when she entered the building Monday. She was escorted to a private
room and revealed a gun shortly after, Goodman said.

Police negotiators stayed on the phone with the woman throughout the
evening, but she kept hanging up. She let the supervisor go unharmed
around 7:45, but stayed inside the office with her children. After
hanging up the phone around 11:45, police heard three shots, and a
SWAT team entered the building. Inside, they found her body and her
two wounded children.

The 38-year-old woman had recently moved to the area from Zanesville,
Ohio, about 30 miles east of Columbus, Baeza said. She told
negotiators about a litany of complaints against state and federal
government agencies. It sounded like she had been denied services
several months ago, Baeza said, but it wasn't clear what specifically
triggered Monday's standoff.

"This wasn't like a knee-jerk reaction," Baeza said, adding that the
woman felt she was owed restitution of some sort.

A spokeswoman for the state's welfare agency did not immediately
return a call Tuesday seeking comment.

The children were "very critical" and unconscious when taken from the
scene, he said. Their names, along with the name of the woman, were
not released by police.

It's sick the way you delight over such stories only because it makes
you feel superior to a bunch of sock puppets. It's almost inhuman, or
dare I say, progressive...


You're just too stupid to understand the irony.


I am not. Irony is fleabagger probably democrat bitch tries to kill kids
before she offs herself. Put all that faith in 0bama and was
disappointed. Who knows, maybe she wanted to double dip, collect Ohio
welfare and Texas welfare.

Best part, Texas will get less migratory welfare people. After all,
doesn't Florida now drug test?

But makes a case for no welfare unless sterilized and put the kids into
better homes.




You're also too stupid to understand the irony.

You and iSnotty are quite the pair...of nincompoops.


He's a compassionate conservative. Probably goes to church on Sunday
and is exhilarated by the cleansing action of fantasy.


Who me? I haven't been in a church since....have to think....1981?? Oh
wait, Grandma died in 1991...so that would be it.

I do believe int eh supreme being, but I am best said a agnostic. To
me, much of the church has good people, but far too much *******ization
of the spirit. Vatican-mafia ties for example. Got some hot money and
want your soul back, the Vatican can deliver for a fee.

Vatican, Illuminati, Freemasons, Muslim Brotherhood, dozens of Christian
kingdoms of control.... just bull**** excuses to enslave, control and
kill people. Hardly what I think a true God would consider good.

Hey, isn't just the Hindu and Muslims that practie under age assigned
slave marriages, so does the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-Day Saints.....yep, right in the USA, overlooked for 100's of
years practicing polygamy and pedophile marriages.

Hey, even your president is a result of a polygamist.

Hypocrisy everywhere if your willing to look.

Yep, "In God We Trust!", yet you walk as if "In Debt We Trust!".

Hey, which religion worships debt and using the tax system to enslave
the unborn people to come for political greed today?

George Carlin had it right, "...just more bull****." If bull**** were
gold, we would die as we would be buried under 5 million miles of it.
