ROSEVILLE, Minn. (AP) - The 60-year-old woman, sitting cross-legged in front of her house in this St. Paul suburb, was bleeding profusely from her neck.

Inside the house, the horror continued: Blood was everywhere, and the woman's 11-year-old daughter was lying unresponsive on her bedroom floor in a pool of blood. Her throat had been cut. And at a neighbor's house, the woman's other 11-year-old daughter was also bleeding - from knife and ax wounds.

"Kill me! Kill me!" the woman yelled as police approached her, according to a criminal complaint filed Friday in Ramsey County District Court.

The woman, Sylvia Sieferman, was charged with second-degree attempted murder in the alleged attack against the second daughter, Hannah Sieferman. Charges in the alleged attack of the first daughter were pending; Linnea Sieferman suffered life-threatening injuries and was in critical condition at Gillette Children's Hospital in St. Paul.

Authorities said Sylvia Sieferman attacked Linnea, then Hannah and then herself Thursday afternoon at the family's home in Roseville. Police said they found a note from Sylvia in the house that read, in part, "sorry, I can't deal with them anymore."
