Father Accused of Drowning Children

A man accused of drowning his two children on the first day of school is in police custody.

At 12:40 p.m., a 911 caller told police her son had drowned her grandchildren. The caller said she had the children with her in her car and was waiting on paramedics near Singing Hills Drive and East Ledbetter, according to officials.

Paramedics arrived and transported the children to Children's Medical Center in Dallas, where they were pronounced dead.

Police said Monday afternoon that investigators believe the children, ages 3 and 5, were drowned. Investigators are trying to determine where the children were killed.

A man was detained in the 6500 block of Lazy River Drive a few blocks from Singing Hills and Ledbetter after a foot pursuit.

Dallas police have not yet released the man's name because they have not yet been charged. Police said the man is cooperating in the investigation.

Police said Monday afternoon that the man in custody abducted the children and their mother while she was walking them to school at about 7:15 a.m. The mother was able to escape, police said.

The mother told police the man had made threats against her and their children. She and the man have three children, police said.

The man also tried to take the third child from another location but was stopped by a relative, police said.

Police said they are working with Child Protective Services to determine if there was any history of abuse.

Earlier in the morning, Naim Rasool Mohammad, 32, was wanted by police on suspicion of abducting two children in the 4600 block of Spring Avenue. The Dallas Independent School District confirms the children were enrolled, but said they never made it to class Monday.

Dallas police said the children's bodies were found before they could issue an Amber Alert.

Police said Monday afternoon that officers knew they were looking for the children's father. Investigators did not have paperwork that said the father could not have his children and were working to confirm that he made threats to the mother and the children.
