A mother allegedly stabbed her three children, killed one of them, and then burned their house on the morning of July four.

The 45-year-old woman was accused of using a knife to stab her children on the northwest side of Chicago on Friday morning, according to the police.

The police responded to someone’s call with a knife in the Logan Square environment shortly before 9.15 in the morning on Friday.

“I have these children shouting outside the window of the basement,” said a 911 caller, according to WLS.

‘We tried to get it out of the window. I saw blood.

“He was covered in blood, removing a knife from him.”

A four-year-old boy was found dead, and seven others, including two children, were hospitalized, police said.

A source told CBS Chicago that the woman was the mother of children.
