Irving police said the woman, identified as 30-year-old Madison McDonald, came to the police station at about 10 p.m. Monday and used the phone in the lobby to call 911.

Police said she told 911 operators that she killed her two daughters, 1-year-old Lillian Mae McDonald and 6-year-old Archer Hammond.

Officers were dispatched the woman's home and confirmed that both of the children were deceased. Police did not say how the children died and did not reveal if McDonald said why she took their lives.

McDonald was taken into custody in the police station lobby and is facing two charges of capital murder of a person under 10 years of age.

Madison McDonald, 30, allegedly told authorities she sedated her children — 1-year-old daughter Lillian Mae McDonald and 6-year-old Archer Hammond — before smothering them to death, Fox 4 reported, citing police.

The Irving Police Department said McDonald entered their headquarters and used a lobby phone to call 911 to confess the crimes.

The mother, who lives alone with her two daughters, told police her children were abused, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by the outlet.

As a result, McDonald claimed she would do anything to protect her children, including “eliminating them,” the affidavit said.

I’d use a Barrett M82. No bullseye required.

The prosecution rested its case Friday in the capital murder trial for a mother who confessed to Irving police that she killed her two young daughters.

Much of the final testimony focused on the police interview conducted the day after Madison McDonald killed her daughters, 1-year-old Lilian and 6-year-old Archer, in April 2021.

In the video, she continued making false claims she killed them to protect them from abuse.

Her lawyer argued she was having a severe mental health episode and did not know what she was doing.

We learned McDonald sedated her children by putting pills in their yogurt before smothering them to death.

Her defense team said she was off her mental health medication and presented a pattern of false claims she made to Irving police.

"I felt like I did what I had to do to protect my kids. I don’t, I’m not okay. I don’t think it’s right. I think I deserve to be arrested," McDonald said in the interrogation video.

Much of Friday’s testimony focused on the police interview conducted one day after the murders.


"I gave them some pills. Archer went to sleep and Lilian didn’t. She kept going. I thought that was odd because she is the baby essentially, so it should have affected her heavier, it’s hard to say, I feel like I’m going to throw up," McDonald said in the interrogation video.

McDonald told police she killed them to "protect" them from abuse and she told police she gave the girls Xanax and other pills in their yogurt.

She said she smothered her youngest child at about 1:30 p.m. on April 12, 2021, and killed her oldest daughter about seven hours later.

"I have tears because I miss them but I’m not sad for saving them," McDonald said in the interrogation video.

[DETECTIVE: "How long had you been planning that?"]

"It’s not that I was planning it," she responded.

[DETECTIVE: "How long had you thought about saving them?"]

"Well, I have been fighting to protect and save them for a year," McDonald said.
