NAPERVILLE – Police officers asked to check in on a home on a quiet suburban Chicago cul-de-sac found two dead children inside, including a kindergartener, and arrested a woman who could face charges, authorities said Wednesday.

Officers were called to the Naperville home Tuesday night to make a well-being check, said Sgt. Louis Cammiso, who did not elaborate on what exactly prompted the request or who placed the call.

He said investigators had someone in custody Wednesday and that criminal charges could be forthcoming. A spokesman for the DuPage County State's Attorney's Office, Paul Darrah, said the person in custody was a woman, but authorities were not identifying her by name.
