A Tucson mother who police say killed her two children has been arrested on suspicion of two counts of first degree murder.

Perla Morales, 25, shot her children, 17-month-old Richard Rosovich Jr., and 4-year-old Emma Rosovich — then turned the gun on herself Saturday night, police said.

Her injuries were not life-threatening and she was arrested and booked Sunday, Sgt. Maria Hawke, a Tucson police spokeswoman said in a news release.

We reached out to the paternal family.

They tell us all they know is that Perla and the baby's father got into an argument, he left home, and that's when the incident happened.

How black a heart does one have to shoot a child let alone two children. How selfish this waste of oxygen is. She doesn't look one bit sad about the children she murdered. She really just looks like a miserable bitch who was lucky that somebody was drunk/stupid/desperate enough to throw one up in her twice and she couldn't take an argument that I'll speculate had to do with the fact that she is a miserable bitch and decided that murdering her children was the best way to retaliate. I wish these people would just try suicide beforetrying to take the kids with them...

Note ear placement on the bitch. No matter how angry or how much I hate my ex's I would never take it out on my kids,what a selfish bitch.

It's too bad that she didn't lose the use of some of her body, like half a side or something, I mean she doesn't look terribly injured in her mug shot, so I'm thinking that the "attempted suicide" was more like an attempt at laying the groundwork for some sort of temporary insanity defense or something... I hope the bull dykes in prison treat her like the inhuman piece of shit she is...

No shit. I had to stare at the bitch for a whileuntil I was convinced it was her. If you wipe the smile away, it's her. Wow, what anger and insanity does to a person. It's sort of like meth. Poor babies.

After three days of emotional testimony in front of heartbroken family members, Perla Caroline Morales was sentenced Thursday to 40 years in prison and probation for life for killing her two children in 2012.

Although the court appreciates Morales’ difficulties in life and her faltering mental health, it could not conclude that the killing of the two children were the result of a psychotic episode, Pima County Superior Court Judge Jane Eikleberry said at the sentencing hearing.

Deputy Pima County Attorney Victoria Otto argued that Morales knew exactly what she was doing when she killed her children, saying that she disagrees with the defense’s assessment of the severity of Morales’ mental illness.

“She knows what she’s done,” Otto said. “She’s now trying to minimize her responsibility.”

Otto asked for a maximum, consecutive sentence for each count of second degree murder and judge to consider the fear, pain and trauma the children must have suffered from having their lives taken away by their own mother.

“This is about justice for Emma and Richie,” she said.

Dawn Priestman, the defense attorney representing Morales, argued that Morales has had a long history of mental illness and trying to get help for her physical and mental conditions. Morales had endured abuse from her stepfather, mother and boyfriends, she said.

“All the people in her life that were supposed to protect her did not,” she said.

Priestman asked the court to consider the fact that Morales was a compliant, law-abiding citizen with no prior history of criminal records that family adored and trusted. Morales was distressed and in fear, while already having to live with vulnerabilities from past abuse, she added.

“The impairment is obvious,” she said.

Morales spoke to the courtroom, where families and friends were present. She broke out in tears and apologized for causing pain and suffering to everyone who was affected.

“I honestly still do not understand why I killed my kids,” she said. “I think about my kids every day. I love them. I’m always going to love them.”

Prosecutors originally sought death penalty for Morales. She pleaded guilty to second degree murder earlier this year.
