Tragedy near my town (Please pray)

3:40 p.m.
UPDATE: Amy Hebert, 40, a Thibodaux native, is suspected of killing her children. The bodies of 9-year-old Camille and 7-year-old Braxton were discovered in the family's home this morning by police after the chidren failed to show up at school.

MATHEWS – A woman who neighbors describe as despondent over a divorce is accused of killing her two young children and trying to take her own life.

Amy Hebert, 40, who lived in a single-story brick house at 118 St. Anthony St., allegedly killed the children with a knife, which she then used to cut herself, police said. A family member called authorities when the children failed to show up at school Officers were dispatched to check on the children -- 7-year-old Braxton Hebert and 9-year-old Camille Hebert -- but they were dead when police arrived just before 9:30 a.m., authorities said.

Amy Hebert had cuts on her wrists, neck, abdomen and chest, said Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre. She was taken to St. Anne Hospital for treatment, where she remains in critical but stable condition.

Police say there's no indication that anyone else was in the house or that anyone other than Amy Hebert is responsible for the knife wounds that she and the children suffered.

If she recovers from her injuries, Amy Hebert will be charged with two counts of first-degree murder, Webre said.

Other than the police presence at the house, there was nothing that indicated anything out of the ordinary. The grass was freshly cut, a dark-colored SUV was parked in the driveway, and the only sign that children lived there was the presence of a wooden playhouse in the backyard.

Updates will be filed today at http://www.houmatoday.com as soon as they become available.
