A Virginia mom was arrested for allegedly gunning down her two daughters, killing the younger of them, according to police.

Veronica Youngblood, 33, was charged with second-degree murder following the fatal shooting Sunday night at a McLean apartment, news station WRC-TV reported.

Police said they responded to the home around 10:15 p.m. to find two children were shot inside.

The younger daughter, Brooklynn Youngblood, died at the scene from a gunshot wound to the head, according to the news station. She was 5 years old.

Her older sister was reportedly rushed to the hospital, where she remains in life-threatening condition, police said.

Officials said they recovered a gun from the scene and arrested the mom. She is being held without bond and scheduled to appear Tuesday in court.

The mother was divorced and set to move this week to Missouri, where her ex-husband was relocating, according to WRC-TV. She reportedly was reluctant to move.
