   PITTSBURGH —   
   A 29-year-old Pittsburgh woman has been arrested and charged   
   with attempting to kill two of her children, ages 3 and 7, by   
   stabbing them Friday morning in Pittsburgh's Hill District   
   neighborhood, police said.

   Police said 29-year-old Sydnie Jefferson has been charged with   
   two counts of aggravated assault, two counts of criminal   
   attempted homicide, two counts of endangering the welfare of   
   children and two counts of recklessly endangering another person.   
      
   Defense attorney Blaine Jones confirmed he was representing the   
   mother as he arrived at Pittsburgh police headquarters Friday   
   evening. Jones said mental health evaluations are the next step.   
      
   "I can tell you that Sydnie has the support of her family.   
   That's why I'm here, because they obtained my office," Jones   
   said. "I don't want to put the cart before the horse, because I   
   don't know what the evaluations necessarily yield. Once we get   
   those evaluations, we'll make a deliberate decision in terms of   
   what we need to do next."   
      
   The two children were stabbed in their home on Dinwiddie Street   
   in the Crawford-Roberts section of Pittsburgh's Hill District   
   neighborhood.   
      
   The father of the 3-year-old scooped him up in his arms, and ran   
   for help for both children.   
      
   School bus van driver, Glenn Ramsey, says he was waiting to pick   
   up a kid when the father jumped onto the bus with the boy.   
      
   "He literally jumped on the bus with the kid (and) said, 'Please   
   take me to the hospital, please, I'm begging you please, my   
   child's going to die, he's been stabbed,'' Ramsey told   
   Pittsburgh's Action News 4. "I seen the kid, I was like 'wow   
   this is real' I just turned the van and drove straight to the   
   police station."   
      
   Ramsey said there were eighth-graders on the bus at the time of   
   the incident.   
      
   "The actions of the father probably saved the child's life, in   
   bringing him to the station as opposed to waiting to call   
   someone to respond," Pittsburgh Police Major Crimes Cmdr.   
   Richard Ford said at a news conference on Friday. "The officers   
   that are equipped with the medical knowledge and things that   
   they can use were able to render aid to that child as well as   
   the other child, which, I personally believe, based on the   
   information, assisted in saving both of their lives at this   
   time."   
      
   Daron Green, the father of the critically wounded 3-year-old,   
   remarked as he entered police headquarters to be interviewed by   
   detectives, "I'm very, very, very, very disturbed."   
      
   Around the same time, police responded to a call at a home in   
   the 200 block of Dinwiddie Street, where officers found a 7-year-   
   old boy who had also been stabbed, police said.   
      
   The boys were taken to the hospital and reported to be in   
   critical but stable condition.   
      
   According to court documents, Jefferson called 911 and said she   
   wanted to turn herself in. She was then taken to Pittsburgh   
   Police Headquarters for questioning.   
      
   Court documents said that during an interview, Jefferson told   
   police she was the mother of the two boys and told police that   
   she went into the boys' bedroom with a kitchen knife in the   
   early morning hours.   
      
   Court documents said she told police she approached her son   
   while he slept and stabbed him in the neck multiple times. She   
   then told police she turned to her second son, who was also   
   lying in bed and stabbed him in the neck.   
      
   Jefferson told police Green then entered the bedroom and she   
   struggled with him over the knife. She told police Green was   
   able to take the knife off her and carried one of her sons out   
   of the house.   
      
   Jefferson told police she then called 911, giving them her   
   location, and made several calls to family members, telling   
   them, "My boys are gone."   
      
   The sister of Green said Jefferson has struggled with mental   
   illness in the past.   
      
   "I used to come here and try to help her with the kids because,   
   she was always going through mental breakdowns and I tried to   
   give them as much help as I can," said Chrissy Griffin, Green's   
   sister. "She's been going through a depression, so I really   
   don't know — but I don't know what would take a person to just   
   wake up six in the morning and just start stabbing their kids."   
      
   Police said the boys were treated at UPMC Children's Hospital   
   for deep puncture wounds to the sides of the neck and the   
   injuries are considered life-threatening.   
      
   At last word, the children were in the hospital and their   
   conditions were critical but stable.   
      
   Two other children from the home, ages 2 and 4, were not stabbed   
   but were taken for medical evaluation.
