Tragedy struck Tampa Thursday night. Julie Powers Schenecker, 50-year-old wife of a US Army colonel, has admitted to killing her teen son and daughter, say police.

She first shot son Beau, 13, twice in the head with a .38 caliber pistol for "talking back" as she was driving him to soccer practice in suburban Tampa, according to the arrest affidavit.


 The police report says she then drove to her $448,000 family home and shot her daughter Calyx, 16 – a high school cross country running star – in the face as she sat studying at the computer.

The explanation she gave police was that the teens were being "mouthy." "She described the crimes in detail," Police spokeswoman Laura McElroy says adding, "That was the only reason she provided to our detectives."


An anxious call from Schenecker's mother in Texas (who had received an e-mail from her daughter stating that she was depressed and having trouble with the kids) lead police to the home on Friday morning. There they found Schenecker covered in blood on the back porch. She was taken, reports the Associated Press, wild-eyed and shaking uncontrollably, to a Tampa hospital.

She will not appear in court Saturday – charged with two counts of murder – because she's being treated at a hospital for an unknown condition.


Her husband, colonel Parker Schenecker, who is attached to US Central Command in Tampa, was reportedly in the Middle East at the time of the murders.

Saturday afternoon, Parker Schenecker's Facebook page shows a photo of Calyx, smiling and surrounded by running teammates. A comment posted by Julie Schenecker on Oct. 20 reads: "that's my baby! doin' something i could never do-3.2 miles!!"

WTF?

Yeah... more proof that depression is a serious problem that needs to be given more attention in America.

Those poor children.... I also feel for her husband who has to find out that his family is gone. Very sad..

That poor Father... to be off fighting in a foreign country, but to face death with the ones closest to you like this? I'd be amazed if he doesn't commit suicide.

Ignorant comment. South Tampa is actually a really great place to live. You see amazing cars all the time (tailed an SLS just today) and it has a sense of old money to it. Most of the rest of Tampa really isn't that bad - the worst parts aren't even that dangerous/grimy compared to other cities and those spots are pretty bunched together and don't spill out.

Yea dont let that insanity defense bullshit get in on this one. Maybe they will let the husband come back and shoot this bish in the face a few times.

[woosh]

Wow... speechless... I feel sorry for the husband. Hope and pray he stays sane.

As for the mother, seek help. In jail.

RIP kids.

[Chest Rockwell]

Here's a question, why did that bitch have a .38 in the car with her unless she was planning on shooting the kid? If she's trying to say he was being mouthy and she shot him.....she had to plan ahead and bring the gun.

I feel bad for the husband, already dealing with a shitty situation in Afghanistan he now gets this news.
