Three young children wandering a dark San Antonio street early Tuesday morning told a police officer their 'mommy's dead' before leading cops back to their home where their mom was found bleeding from stab wounds in a bathtub.
An officer found the 4-, 5- and 8-year-old children wandering a heavily traveled street on San Antonio's east side about 3 a.m. on Tuesday, officials with the San Antonio Police Department said in a statement to DailyMail.com.
The children were found walking on East Houston Street - just blocks from their home in the Roseville Apartments complex, cops said.
The cop stopped them to ask them what they were doing out so late.
'Mommy's dead and we're looking for daddy's house,' the children told the officer, according to the San Antonio Express-News.
The children added: 'There's blood everywhere.'
