(WOLF) \u2014 A 27-year-old woman is facing two criminal homicide charges after a three-year-old boy and his father were killed inside a guest room at the Great Wolf Lodge on Monday night.<\/p>\n<p> Around 3 P.M. on Monday, Metallica Rose Harrison of Towanda called 911 in distress, looking to commit suicide.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOfficers arrived at the scene, and they assessed the situation and they found two deceased victims in that room,&#8221; Michael Mancuso, Monroe County District Attorney, said in a press conference on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Affidavit, the two deceased victims were her husband, Charles Harrison, and her three-year-old son identified by his initials T.H.<\/p>\n<p>Officers at the scene observed Harrison bleeding from her left wrist and neck, telling officers that she wanted to be with her husband and son who were already deceased.<\/p>\n<p>Harrison was then taken into police custody while being transported to a nearby hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Mancuso shared that because of a very strong response by law enforcement, there is no threat to public safety.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was a violent domestic tragedy in which two people, a boy and his father, lost their lives,&#8221; Mancuso said.<\/p>\n<p>While being transported in the ambulance, Harrison kept making statements that she was not supposed to be here and expressing her frustration, stating, \u201cIt wasn\u2019t supposed to end like this.
