Police in Tulare says a mother drowned her twin boys in a motel bathtub.

Authorities say Heather Langdon and the twins were dropped off at the motel by police late Wednesday night after she was staying at a nearby women’s shelter but got kicked out for causing disturbances.

On Thursday morning, police say she drowned the twins in the motel bathtub and then called for help.

A woman says she ran to the room to help but it was too late.

“She kept saying that ‘I almost drowned them. I almost drowned by babies’ and she was trying to help the babies, but I didn’t know that they were already deceased. Sad, real sad that I saw something like that,” the witness Maria Marez said.

Family members say Langdon and her husband have been divorced for a few years and they share three more sons, ages 14, 13 and five.
