Colo. mom on the run after she allegedly killed her two young kids

A 35-year-old Colorado mom is on the lam after she allegedly murdered two of her young children and tried to kill a third, who was left wounded in the shocking attack, authorities said.

Colorado Springs police responded to a report of a burglary at the home of Kimberlee Singler on Palomino Ranch Point about 12:30 a.m. Dec. 19, KDVR reported.

When cops arrived, they found Singler and her 11-year old daughter, both of whom were wounded, police said. They also made the grisly discovery of the bodies of her 9-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son.

Singler and her daughter were treated at the scene and then transported to local hospitals. Details on how the children were killed were not immediately released.

The mom was allowed to leave the hospital because she was considered to be a victim and authorities had no probable cause to arrest her, Denver 7 reported.

But “as the investigation into this case unfolded, it was determined the initial report of a burglary was unfounded,” police told USA Today.

“At this time Ms. Singler is the primary suspect,” cops added. 

On Tuesday, homicide investigators obtained an arrest warrant for Singler, who was last seen Saturday when she stayed at a relative’s home, according to the outlet, which cited police.

Her current whereabouts are unknown, officials said.

The police department’s Violent Offender Fugitive Task Force is searching for the fugitive in an “active investigation.”

Singler faces a slew of charges, including four counts of first-degree murder, two counts of attempted first-degree murder, two counts of child abuse, and first-degree assault.

One neighbor expressed his shock about the slayings.

“Very surprising. This has always been a quiet neighborhood. Nothing really happens here. We all really know each other,” Daniel Lane told KDVR.

“The kids play out here all the time. There was just a snowman right there that they built a week ago. It finally just melted,” he said.

“The fact she’s still on the loose, do I need a security door on my home? What’s happening? Where’d she go?” Lane added.

Singler’s bond has been set at $10 million.

Police said the 11-year-old is being taken care of.
