WEST VALLEY CITY — A West Valley mother accused of stabbing her two children was charged Tuesday with attempted murder.
Mary Galvis, 47, who was arrested over the weekend, was charged in 3rd District Court with two counts of attempted murder, a first-degree felony.
Police responding to the West Valley home, 3427 S. 2660 West, early Saturday found the two children — a 12-year-old girl and an 8-year-old boy — covered in blood as Galvis' husband restrained her on the floor. He told the arriving officer "she stabbed my children" and "she was going to kill them herself," court documents state.
Investigators found a large pool of blood inside the front door and two knives, one with blood on the blade, in a back bedroom.
Both children were treated at Primary Children's Hospital for multiple stab wounds that required stitches, the charges state. The 12-year-old girl had two stab wounds in the upper chest and a pneumothorax while the 8-year-old boy was stabbed in his upper chest, forearm, thigh and knee.
A teenage sister who was also home at the time of the incident, received minor injuries "while attempting to take the knife from the mother," according to a police report. She was treated for her injuries at the scene.
A check of Utah state court records indicates that Galvis, a Colombian national, has no prior criminal history other than issues with debt collection. She was evaluated at a an area hospital before being booked into Salt Lake County Jail.

'Knife attack': Police said that Mary Galvis, pictured, lashed out at her young children with a knife this morning
A mother allegedly stabbed two of her own children in their home, leaving them with serious injuries.
Mary Glavis, 47, took a knife to her 8-year-old son and 12-year-old daughter in a frenzied attack in West Valley, Utah, police said.
Galvis lunged at her children several times, according to witness reports, and also lashed out at her teenage daughter, who received less serious wounds.
She was only stopped from her attack when the teen's screams woke the children's father, who was able to wrest the knife from her hands, the Desert News reported.
A police spokesman said: 'The father heard the commotion and was able to prevent it from going any further.
'Investigators are still speaking to her and trying to find out what caused all this.'
Police were called to the scene after the teenage girl was able to raise the alarm - and were warned Galvis might be crazed.
The other two children were taken to hospital with multiple stab wounds. Their condition was said to be critical when they arrived, but has since stabilized.
