Two children were found stabbed to death inside a Naperville, Ill., home, and the mother of one of them was taken into custody for questioning, authorities said.

Naperville police responding to a request for a welfare check on Tuesday night found the bodies of a boy and girl in a townhome. The children were believed to be ages 5 and 8, law-enforcement sources said.

Two dogs were also found dead inside the home, a source told the Naperville Sun.

The State's Attorney Office confirmed that a woman taken into in custody is mother of one of the slain children. The woman was baby-sitting the other child, sources told the Sun.

“There is no reason to believe any additional subjects are at large at this time,” police said in a statement issued Wednesday morning.
