A Pennsylvania<\/a> woman allegedly killed her husband and her three-year-old son at a resort in the Poconos Mountains of Pennsylvania this week before attempting suicide, according to local officials.<\/p>\n

Pocono Township police responded to reports of a \u201cdistressed female\u201d at the Great Wolf Lodge resort, with the woman, identified as 27-year old Metallica Rose Harrison of Towanda, Pennsylvania, by police.<\/p>\n

According to a criminal complaint reviewed by local outlets, Harrison allegedly told police she \u201cwanted to be with her husband and son\u201d, who were both found dead in the room with stab wounds to their chests. Her husband has been identified as Charles Harrison in the criminal complaint. Her son was identified only as \u201cTH.\u201d<\/p>\n

Investigators found a butcher\u2019s knife and smaller knife on the premises.<\/p>\n

Harrison had cuts on her left wrist and neck and was taken to a local hospital, allegedly saying, according to the complaint: \u201cEvery day, I work so hard to be the best person, the best mother, the best wife. It wasn\u2019t supposed to end like this. I was supposed to have my happy family. That\u2019s what I envisioned since I was a child.\u201d<\/p>\n

The family had checked in to the resort on 21 September and were scheduled to check out on Tuesday, the complaint said.<\/p>\n

She has been charged with two counts of criminal homicide.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis case is an isolated domestic tragedy and there is no threat to the community,\u201d Pocono Township police said.<\/p>\n

In a statement to the Guardian, the resort said: \u201cWe are deeply saddened and heartbroken by a tragic domestic incident that occurred yesterday in a guest room at our resort in the Pocono Mountains. It was an isolated family incident, and we\u2019re cooperating fully with local law enforcement as they conduct their investigation. Our thoughts are with the family and loved ones of those affected.\u201d<\/p>\n
