Tacoma police are interviewing a young mother after she
called 911 Friday morning to say she killed her 2-year-old
son.

Tacoma police spokesman Mark Fulgham says detectives don’t
know if it was accidental or intentional. Officers arrived
to the home in the 3600 block of S. Thompson Avenue around 7:00
a.m. and took the boy to Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital
in Tacoma where he was pronounced dead.

Police have not said how the boy died or why the mother
allegedly killed him. Reports say she is expected to appear
in Pierce County court on Monday.
