NEWBURGH, N.Y. (AP) — The suicidal mother who loaded her four children into a minivan and drove it into New York's Hudson River cryptically announced her intention and sought forgiveness in a Facebook message just before the fatal plunge.
The message, obtained by MidHudsonNews.com, was posted on Lashanda Armstrong's page from a BlackBerry. It says: "I'm so sorry everyone forgive me please for what I'm gonna do.... This Is It!!!!"
That was at 7:13 p.m. Tuesday.
Just before 8, Armstrong put her four children into the van and drove into the river.
Her 10-year-old son escaped and told a passer-by that his mother told her children that if she was going to die, they were going to die, too. Two boys, ages 5 and 2, and an 11-month-old girl died along with Armstrong.
