Dayton Woman Indicted For Killing Her Two Young Children

Montgomery County Sheriff's Office

A Montgomery County grand jury has indicted a Dayton woman on murder charges in the shooting deaths of her two young children on May 18. Police say 30-year-old Claudena Helton told them she did it to "save them from the world's evils." County prosecutor Mathias Heck says the death penalty is possible.

Helton is being held on a one million dollar bond.
