UPPER MAKEFIELD TOWNSHIP, Pa. (CBS) — A mother is charged with the attempted murder of her two children and a 22-year-old neighbor in Bucks County, authorities say. The two boys, ages 13 and 9, will give the gift of life to others as their organs will be donated, Bucks County District Attorney Matt Weintraub said in a press conference on Monday afternoon.
The boys are on life support Monday night, being kept alive to donate their organs through Gift of Life.
Following the organ transplants, his office is prepared to upgrade 38-year-old Trinh Nguyen’s charges to two counts of homicide.
“Both children will give the gift of life to others as their organs will be transplanted, once that occurs we will update these charges to two counts of homicide,” Weintraub said.
Upper Makefield Township police were called to the 100 block of Timber Ridge Road just after 7 a.m. on Monday.
Weintraub says a 22-year-old neighbor told officers that Nguyen handed him a box of photos and asked him to give it to her ex-husband. When the neighbor turned around to face Nguyen, he saw her pointing a gun at his face, pulling the trigger twice but the gun did not fire.
The neighbor then embraced Nguyen and was able to disarm her before she ran off and fled in a 2018 Toyota Sienna minivan.
Officers spoke with the mother of the 22-year-old neighbor and went inside the home to check on the children. Both boys were found alive in their separate beds suffering from a gunshot wound to the head.
The officers rushed them to an area hospital in an attempt to save their lives.
Weintraub says officials at Washington Crossing United Methodist Church alerted police that Nguyen was inside the minivan in the church’s parking lot.

The 22-year-old neighbor is lucky he wasn't shot. He may have stopped her from killing other people when he disarmed her.
The world is falling around us. Pray.
She needs a swift execution.
And because lawlessness is to be multiplied, the love of the many will grow cold.
I’m guessing a custody battle was in progress. My sister in law shot and killed my brother because she was afraid of losing custody of their 5 year old. Ironic, of course, because she is in prison for life and hasn’t seen the child in 19 years. At least she didn’t kill the child.
So sorry about your brother... and for his child whose dad was taken from him.
That’s so tragic! I’m so sorry for your loss!
Thank you. The story is on an episode of the TV show “Snapped.” That’s a claim to fame no one ever wished to make.
>> I’m guessing a custody battle was in progress.
“Nguyen handed him a box of photos and asked him to give it to her ex-husband.”
seems like it
I believe Ñguyen is a Vietnamese name.
a couple of days ago a 60 yro old man who had been this woman's live in bf for 3 yrs Killed the 16 dtr after apparently raping her...mom was out of town for work....
evil is real in this world and satan can be let into your life so easily if you don't guard against it....
horrible.....so sorry for your loss....I know how it feels to lose a brother.
It says she was getting evicted and owed $11,000 in back rent
I believe you are correct.
“...owed $11,000 in back rent.”
Sounds like she didn’t think out selling the children’s organs all the way through.
Or giving the box to the neighbor kid to give to her ex-husband...
.
.
.
And then turning around and trying to kill the kid.
No killing is more repugnant than a mother taking the life of her own child(ren) - that includes purposeful abortion. I think it was Scalia who warned society about the coarsening of society to life caused by abortion. It’s a slippery slope from killing a child in the womb to killing a viable infant child by the mother.
He’s lucky the gun Misfired or ran out of ammo. She about shot him point blank in the head twice.
Horrific! Praying for you and your family!
Satan prowling. He knows his time is short.
