I love my children. I love my boys so much. I'm not like it's been I don't do this. I love my kids. >> Morning of November 8th, 2023, Bullet County, Kentucky. A 911 call comes from a terrified neighbor. The woman's voice breaks. She shot the kids. >> Uh my neighbor just came up to my door and just passed out and I can't get her to wake up. She >> Okay. Is she breathing? >> She is. >> How old is she? >> I would say in her early 30s [Applause] >> and now she's screaming that the kids are dying. Stay here. >> Do we know what happened to him? >> I have no idea. We just found our neighbor. The woman, their mom just >> Okay. >> freaking out my yard. >> Okay. And how old is he? >> Uh oh my god. He's uh I don't know. He's probably six. There's blood on the bed. There's a gun. Oh my god. >> Was he shot? >> I can't I don't see a gunshot. >> There's two of them. They're both here. They're breathing. >> There's two children. >> Yes, ma'am. >> Okay. Is she able to tell you what's going on or what happened? >> No. Do you know what happened? >> No. She is shaking. She's on on something freaking out. I don't know. She's just laying here now on her stomach. >> When officers arrive, the scene is haunting. Two young boys, 1619, lying motionless on the bed, gunshot wounds to their heads. Outside, their mother, Tiffany Lucas, 33, collapses, shaking, muttering incoherent words. Body cam later reveals the truth. A blood soaked bedroom, a panicked mother, and conflicting statements. What really happened inside this house? And why would a mother pull the trigger on her own children? >> The scene's in there, right? >> Yeah. Better, I believe. >> The neighbors only know two children. Okay. >> All right. >> Try to get names. >> Names. I just need names of everybody that come in here for the detail. >> Yeah, I know. We'll probably end up going to EMS after the fact. >> Just saw it. >> Lucas is led to the patrol car, but inside the home, a nightmare remains. Jaden, nine, Maurice, six, both shot in the head. Paramedics rush in. They fight to bring them back, but every effort fails. The boys are gone before reaching the hospital. And then comes the detail that halts the investigation. No gun, a shooting without a weapon. >> Huh? did not find it. >> They said they haven't found it yet, but EMS moved a bunch of stuff. So, we'll have to find it later. Once the detectives get done, worst comes to worse. I can bring the dog in and he can locate it. >> I think it's on the bed, but they move around and I'm not trying to interrupt. I got >> We did it. >> Cool. Cool. >> What do y'all need? You just want to get something? >> Uh, I think they got everything at this point. Did Lucas hide it? Did someone else enter the home? Or was the truth even darker? Detectives, make a choice. Do not rush. Preserve the scene. Wait for forensics because one mistake now could bury the truth forever. At the Bullet County station, Lucas suddenly claims she shot herself in the ear. Medics check. No wound, no trace. But as I was coming up and going around her, it was going off again when she said she shot herself in the ear. If I just stayed up by her ear, >> I'm not seeing nothing. That's supposedly >> He did though. He did, didn't he? He said, "Do you got earrings in?" Didn't he? >> Okay. [Music] >> It means everything. >> You're up. You're sick. >> Yeah. No, I'm not seeing anything. Another set of idols. And >> this about this. And >> in the interrogation room, contradictions pile up. >> One moment, she says the gun fired on its own. The next she blames video games, YouTube, social media. >> I know I seem ugly, but I'm not. Feel like I've been manipulated the game systems and everything. Then manipulate my children, manipulated my mind. >> Really? >> All them game systems and you know just everything. >> The games you said. >> Yeah. Like PlayStations, all the games the kids play. >> Yeah. >> It manipulates their minds and then they get to your mind. Yeah. Me ball walker. >> Let me see what I can find. Okay. >> Okay. >> See soon as you walked in. Why is it doing that? >> My phone. >> As soon as you walk in the door. >> That's weird, right? >> It's weird. >> It's weird. As soon as people walk, sounds. That's not right. >> Let me shut this. >> See? See? >> You want me to shut this? >> It's not right. >> See? >> Not for right now. Okay. >> Every time I say something, your phone's going off. >> Um, >> believe me, I wish it wasn't going off. So my phone, right? [Applause] >> Okay. What's your name? >> How do you spell it? >> T I FF A N E >> T I FF A N I E. What's your last name? >> Lucas. >> L U C A S. >> You know my name. >> I I've got it in there, but I swear to God I It's in there and I didn't find it. >> It was written on everything in the back of the police cars. I seen it. >> I'm telling you, I've seen it. >> I don't I don't I can go in the other room and get it. I >> No. In the back of the police cars, there's white things with Lucas written on them. I seen it. >> Really? >> Yes. I have not seen that. Huh? I have not seen that. What's your middle name? Do you have a middle name? What is it? >> 52. >> And Catherine. >> And Catherine. Well, I'm going to talk to you today about what happened earlier. Okay. But can can you um can you tell me a little bit about yourself? I mean, where are you from or where you grew up or anything like that? >> I know I look crazy, but I'm not. >> Huh? >> Cuz I know I look crazy, but I'm not crazy. >> I don't think you look crazy. I'm just trying to, you know, I if I'm going to talk to someone, I'd rather know who they are. You know, I can tell you a little bit about me. I love my children. >> You tell me a little bit about you. Okay. >> I love my children. I love my boys so much. I wouldn't hurt them, but I just feel like I I didn't I felt back and I I didn't I was letting them play the video games and I wasn't like focusing how I was supposed to, you know, and they get that video game and the YouTube and the kids. It just messes their minds up to where people can manipulate their parents or do whatever they want. And I feel like someone put something upon my house or me or something like I just don't feel right. I'm not like it's been I don't do this. I love my hair. >> What? >> How old are your voice? state. >> But the truth cuts through the noise. No one else pulled the trigger. It was her. When the forensic reports are finalized, the full picture emerges. The wounds on Jaden and Maurice reveal close-range shots. The trajectory matches an adult standing at the bedside. The semi-automatic pistol is later found inside the home. Ballistics confirm it is the murder weapon. No forced entry, no intruder, only Tiffany and her two children. From the evidence, an arrest warrant is issued. Lucas is charged with two counts of firstdegree murder. At first, she pleads not guilty, but as the evidence stacks against her, resistance collapses. She admits the crime. It is an open plea. No deal, no leniency. The verdict, two life sentences. On paper, Kentucky law allows parole after 20 years, but in reality, that chance is close to zero. The prosecutor makes it clear, and this was no accident. This was deliberate. In Shepherd'sville, the community is shaken. Neighbors place flowers, candles, stuffed animals outside the home. A memorial for Jaden and Morris. Two innocent lives taken by their own mother. From a legal standpoint, the Lucas case is a brutal reminder. When a parent kills their child, it is more than murder. It is a betrayal of motherhood itself. But beyond the law lies a deeper fracture, mental health, her paranoid claims, her erratic behavior. The warning signs were there. Yet no one intervened in time. Two children died inside the very house that should have been their safe place. The mother now faces life in prison. But the pain does not end with a sentence. This case sounds the alarm on guns inside homes, on ignoring mental health crisis, on the responsibility of a community to act when something feels wrong. If someone had noticed earlier, if help had arrived in time. Maybe Jaden and Maurice would still be alive. But now only unanswered questions remain and two young eyes closed forever in the
