A woman has pleaded not guilty to slashing her two daughters' throats in their Los Angeles house.
The case against Antonia Gomez is one of a few this month in Southern California in which six children were stabbed, four of them fatally.
The mother entered her plea Thursday to two counts of murder and is eligible for the death penalty if convicted. She's being held without bail.
Prosecutors say Gomez stabbed her 11-year-old daughter and her 17-year-old daughters at their North Hollywood home on Sept. 2 before cutting her own arms.
Similar attacks occurred Wednesday when a 5-year-old and 3-year-old were allegedly wounded by their mother in Orange County. Authorities also found a 12-year-old boy and his 7-year-old sister stabbed to death the same day in Ventura County in what could be a murder-suicide by the father.
