For Maria Contreras, she received a call from her nephews who said the police and fire department were in the complex. “They heard noises but couldn’t describe what kind of noises,” said Contreras. Two little girls were found dead in their Phoenix apartment on Wednesday night, and police suspect their mother may be responsible. She was surprised that something like this could happen in this area. “It’s actually pretty quiet here,” said Contreras. “It’s a really nice neighborhood. I don’t know why this is happening. “Teri Potter, who lives a few doors down from the complex, came to put large angel wings and candles on the fence in front of the apartments.” They are angels now, “she said.” I didn’t know her. I just know there are children and it’s really annoying that something like this could happen. I mean, your whole family is going through it. “Copyright 2021 KPHO / KTVK (KPHO Broadcasting Company).
