TAMPA, Fla. — The wife of an Army colonel was charged Friday with fatally shooting her teenage son and daughter after police found the mother covered in blood on the back porch of her home in an upscale Tampa suburb, police said.

Julie Powers Schenecker admitted to the slayings after police came to the home Friday morning, police spokeswoman Laura McElroy said. Schenecker's mother had called police from Texas because she was unable to reach the 50-year-old woman, whom she said was depressed.

Schenecker's husband, Parker Schenecker, is an Army colonel serving in Qatar and was notified of his children's deaths Friday, McElroy said.
