Una madre mató a tiros sus dos hijos pequeños, le mandó una foto de los cuerpos ensangrentados al padre y luego se quitó la vida en la ciudad de Phoenix, Arizona, en Estados Unidos.

Según informó la Policía de Phoenix, el episodio que dejó a toda una familia destruida y a la comunidad en shockocurrió en la madrugada del lunes 25 de mayo.

Andrea Davis, de 38 años, disparó y mató a sus hijos, Austin (10 años) y Andolan (2 años), dentro de su casa. Después, se suicidó.

El ataque previo y el mensaje desesperado

La secuencia de horror comenzó poco antes, en la ciudad vecina de Glendale. Allí, Andrea fue hasta el estacionamiento de un bar donde estaba su expareja y padre de los chicos, Nolan Davis, acompañado por otra mujer. Sin mediar palabra, abrió fuego contra ellos mientras estaban en un auto. La mujer que estaba con Nolan recibió un disparo en la cabeza, pero sobrevivió y está fuera de peligro.

Tras el ataque, Nolan contó a la policía que recibió un mensaje de texto de Andrea, donde le advertía que iba a lastimar a sus hijos.

Minutos después, la mujer le envió una foto de las acbezas ensangrentadas de los chicos. Esa imagen fue el detonante para que las fuerzas de seguridad de Glendale y Phoenix irrumpieran en la casa, ubicada a solo tres kilómetros del bar.

“Como ya sabíamos que se trataba de una situación grave, los agentes forzaron la entrada a la vivienda y fue entonces cuando se encontraron con esta horrible situación”, dijo el vocero de la policía de Glendale, Jose Santiago, a Fox News.

Los agentes encontraron los cuerpos de los chicos con disparos en la cabeza junto al de la mujer.

“Es un incidente muy difícil de afrontar. Nadie quiere ver que se cause daño a los niños”, dijo la sargento Lorraine Fernández, del Departamento de Policía de Phoenix.

El dolor de un padre que lo perdió todo

La tragedia dejó a Nolan Davis devastado. Una campaña en GoFundMe, creada para ayudarlo con los gastos del funeral, lo describe como un hombre que “perdió todo: su familia, su casa y la vida que construyó durante años”.

“Austin era un chico inquieto, lleno de energía, que amaba profundamente a su papá. Andolan era el bebé más dulce, con los ojos más lindos”, escribieron en la colecta solidaria.

“Eran pequeños, no se lo merecían”, dijo Felicia Queen, prima de Nolan Davis. “Tenían toda una vida por delante. Y no es justo. Ni siquiera puedo imaginar por lo que está pasando mi primo ahora mismo”.

La mujer contó que la pareja ún estaba casada, pero en pleno proceso de separación. “Los papeles del divorcio estaban en trámite, hasta donde sé. Estaban separados”, agregó Felicia.

“Él era un muy buen padre. Y ella era una buena madre, así que, por favor, pase lo que pase, no la presenten como si fuera… ella hizo lo que hizo, pero no era una persona horrible. No lo era”, dijo Queen.

El círculo íntimo y la pregunta sin respuesta

Amy Bowers, la mejor amiga de Andrea, confesó que no puede dejar de pensar en los últimos minutos de los chicos. “¿Los abrazó fuerte? Eso es lo que más me duele, esos bebés. No quiero que hayan visto a su mamá de otra manera en esa última hora”, expresó, conmovida.

Bowers afirmó que los Davis estuvieron juntos durante 12 años y tuvieron un matrimonio estupendo hasta hace aproximadamente un año. gún dijo, una relación inapropiada entre Nolan y una compañera de trabajo hizo que Andrea “perdiera completamente la cabeza”.

“Simplemente no se sentía bien. Y ha estado pidiendo ayuda a todo el mundo. No ha sido ningún secreto”, dijo Bowers.

Una comunidad en shock y una investigación en curso

El caso conmocionó a Arizona y puso el foco en la violencia familiar y la salud mental. La policía de Glendale y Phoenix continúa investigando los detalles del hecho, mientras la familia y los amigos buscan respuestas en medio del dolor.

“Esto es traumático no solo para las familias involucradas, sino también para los propios agentes”, dijo Santiago. “Cuando uno se encuentra con una situación así, es horrible para todos. Este padre tendrá que vivir con la idea de que sus hijos ya no están y que esto fue obra de su esposa”, afirmó el vocero policial.

Justice Clarence Thomas declined to immediately hand Alabama Republicans a win Wednesday, but ordered their voting rights challengers to quickly defend a court-drawn congressional map that helped Democrats flip a deep-red state House seat.

Alabama’s Republican Attorney General requested emergency relief, asking the Supreme Court to immediately revive the state’s 2023 legislature-drawn congressional map after a lower court blocked it, ruling that the state must continue using a special-master map approved by the courts that created a second Black-opportunity district and helped elect Democratic Rep. Shomari Figures in 2024. 

On Wednesday, Justice Thomas, who is assigned to the 11th circuit, declined to immediately restore the 2023 congressional map but also ordered the case’s voting rights plaintiffs to provide an explanation by Monday on why that legislature-drawn map should not be used.

Thomas’s ruling is the latest in a years-long redistricting saga that was given new life following an April Supreme Court ruling that narrowed the interpretation of a provision in the Voting Rights Act used by Democrats in their redistricting fights. Prior to the April ruling, the Supreme Court upheld a challenge to the state’s 2020 census-drawn map and a court-approved special-master map preferred by Democrats was implemented, which reshaped the state’s 2nd District and flipped a solidly GOP-held seat that gave Democrats another House seat.

In its emergency application, Alabama argued an immediate stay was needed because the lower-court ruling «defies Callais, manipulates the Purcell principle, and offends the Constitution’s promise of equal protection for all.»

Alabama is leaning on the Supreme Court’s recent April ruling in Louisiana v. Callais, which gave Republicans a new weapon against maps from left-wing voting rights activists by making it harder for them to force additional primarily minority districts under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.

The decision from the Supreme Court ultimately fueled a wave of fresh redistricting efforts in GOP-led states, including Alabama, which used the Supreme Court’s new Louisiana v. Callais ruling to ask the justices to revisit the lower-court orders blocking the 2023 legislature-drawn map.

In response to the Louisiana case’s ruling, the Supreme Court ruled earlier this month on May 11 that the lower court’s judgment blocking Alabama’s 2023 map should be vacated and sent back for another look. However, on Tuesday, the three-judge federal district court blocked the 2023 map and ordered the court-approved special master map to continue to be used, leading to Alabama’s request for emergency relief on Wednesday that was ruled on by Justice Thomas.

The timing of Thomas’ order comes as Alabama officials have already tried to prepare for a rapid switch back to the 2023 map. 

After the Supreme Court’s earlier May 11 order sent the case back to the lower court, Gov. Kay Ivey called Aug. 11 special primaries for the affected 1st, 2nd, 6th and 7th Congressional Districts, saying the state was ready to move forward with its Alabama legislature-drawn map.

FIRST ON FOX: The federal agency that oversees more than $126 billion in federal contracts is joining Vice President JD Vance’s anti-fraud task force, expanding the White House crackdown into the federal government’s contracting system.

The General Services Administration (GSA) calls itself the «engine of government» and serves as the federal government’s central contracting and real estate agency, overseeing the buildings, services and goods agencies rely on to operate. By joining the task force, GSA gives one of the Trump administration’s highest-profile accountability efforts access to its procurement data, acquisition expertise and cross-agency reach as the White House seeks to root out fraud in public programs.

«GSA sits at the center of the federal acquisition and contracting ecosystem, making us a critical force in the fight against fraud,» GSA Administrator Edward C. Forst said in a press release obtained by Fox News Digital.

«We are proud to join Vice President Vance and this Task Force to aggressively identify abuse, strengthen oversight and protect the integrity of federal procurement. GSA will bring advanced analytical capabilities, investigative support and cross-government coordination to help expose high-risk fraud patterns and stop bad actors from exploiting taxpayer-funded systems,» Frost continued. 

The White House’s task force is a coalition of federal agencies created by President Donald Trump through an executive order to coordinate efforts to reduce fraud, waste and abuse in federal programs. Chaired by Vice President JD Vance, the task force focuses on improving eligibility verification, strengthening payment controls, sharing data across agencies and helping law enforcement disrupt fraud schemes.

The GSA has historically had some problems with improper payments. 

In February, for instance, the agency’s Office of Inspector General released a report finding that «federal customer agencies relying on GSA pricing on schedule contracts are at risk of overpaying» due to failures from government contracting officers or inaccurate information submitted by contractors.

The White House fraud task force was established in March, and has racked up a few early wins in the weeks since. Law enforcement, working in conjunction with the task force, arrested eight people in California on suspicion of defrauding public healthcare services out of more than $50 million.

The task force also withheld $1.4 billion in federal funding from home health and hospice providers suspected of defrauding the government.
