BRAZORIA COUNTY, Texas — A mother accused of shooting her four children — killing two of them — proclaimed her innocence in an exclusive KHOU 11 Investigates interview from inside the Brazoria County Jail.

Oninda Romelus, 31, who is being held on a $14 million bond, said the way the world is portraying her "is a lie."

"I’m not crazy. I’m not a monster," Romelus said during two conversations from jail totaling about an hour and a half.

The case drew national headlines after Brazoria County Sheriff’s Office deputies found Romelus’ four children shot inside her car on Oct. 4 at a gas station along Highway 288 near Angleton. They said O’Karreo Covington, 13, and Amourra Chappel, 3, died in the shooting. Siblings Kylee Romelius, 9, and Traviel Downer, 8, survived.
