Jesus. What the fuck is up with Phoenix, Arizona? First there's this:

PHOENIX - Police say an Arizona woman who tried to kill her ex-husband and poison her four children, including a teenage daughter found dead in her home on Christmas Day, has told authorities she didn't want her ex to have custody of the kids.

Police say 35-year-old Connie Villa also told them she tried to kill all of her children by forcing them to ingest prescription narcotic drugs, according to CBS affiliate KPHO. Villa said she was not able to force one of her daughters, Aniarael, to ingest the drugs so she suffocated her to death with her bare hands, according to police, reports the station.

And now there's this:

PHOENIX — Police say a Valley father murdered his teen son with an ax because he thought the boy was a demon.

Happy New Year.

UPDATE: Jesus. Yet another one:

TOLLESON, Ariz. — A father and his two young daughters have been found dead inside a home in the Phoenix suburb of Tolleson in what police are calling a murder-suicide.

Tolleson Police Sgt. Obed Gaytan says the girls, ages 6 and 8, had been shot. Police identified the father as 45-year-old Alejandro Gallardo and said he died of a self-inflicted gunshot to the head.

Neighbors and those who work in the area told police they heard screaming coming from the home Wednesday morning.
