A Texas mother is behind bars after her two kids were found unconscious in a hot car on a sweltering late summer day and were later pronounced dead, police say. The Bexar County Medical Examiner's Office identified the children as Miyani Islar and Sevani Stevenson. Sheriff Javier Salazar told reporters during a press conference that his deputies responded around 3:30 p.m. Saturday to the 7000 block of Chancery Gate for a call about unconscious children. When the first deputy arrived on the scene, he began "simultaneously trying to perform CPR on both children," but both were pronounced dead.
