A horrific tragedy.
That's a way to describe Christina Elizabeth Treadway, a 34-year-old Carolina Panthers' gameday ticket taker and North Carolina mom of two, killing her three-year-old daughter and seven-year-old son, before jumping off a bridge in a double murder-suicide over the weekend.
According to Charlotte-Mecklenburg police, as reported by The Charlotte Observer, Treadway inflicted what turned out to be fatal injuries to her daughter, Iliyah Miller, and son, Isaiah Miller, in a home Saturday, as they were pronounced dead at the Carolinas Medical Center. She then jumped from a bridge on Interstate 485 in Charlotte on the same day.
The motive for the double murder-suicide is currently unknown, but The Charlotte Observer reported that the crime is still being actively investigated.
Meanwhile, the father of the children killed has launched a GoFundMe campaign to help raise money to cover the kids' funeral expense.
"My children's mother decided to end her life. And end my two beautiful kids lives. I am beyond hurt and sad," the kids' father wrote on the GoFundMe page.
He added: "You never know what a person is going through mentally. My kids were my everything I truly don't know how my life will go on."
