<p class="imageCaption">Fields said the alarm was raised when her niece ran out of the house towards her.<br />
&#8216;My little niece came running up the driveway, barefoot in hysterics saying &#8220;auntie, auntie mommy killed Sadiya&#8217;,&#8221; another aunt Barbara Alsharif said.<br />
When she entered the home she found the fire and one of the girls on the ground.<br />
&#8216;Seeing that girl lay there like she had just been through a war-torn country was not something that we see at home,&#8217; she said.</p>

She then went on the run with her youngest child</strong></h6>
<p>Ahmad cracked after recently losing her job, her relatives said. Soon afterwards she shot her dog and chickens.<br />
She was left further heartbroken after her mother, who cares for her two sons believed to be in their late teens to early 20s, prevented the suspect from seeing one of them graduate on Saturday.<br />
That led her to a breaking point come Sunday, Mother&#8217;s day.<br />
Officer Jeanne MacKenzie says the 11-year-old girl is in &#8216;very critical&#8217; condition following the stabbing.<br />
Ahmad remains booked in Tulsa County Jail on complaints of arson, child abuse and assault and battery with the intent to kill.</p>

A police report says one of the daughters told officers they were held hostage in their room without food or water a week before the attack took place.<br />
Ahmad told officers the girls were reading and she became upset &#8216;because of the way they were reading and looking at her.&#8217;<br />
It was not clear what the girls were reading, MacKenzie said: &#8216;([mother], said that they don&#8217;t normally read and the fact that they were reading told her that they were up to no good,&#8217; MacKenzie said.</p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">She has also declined to say where the mother had worked.When police arrived to the scene they found the 11-year-old girl inside with the kitchen on fire.<br />
