Police said Singler is the mother of all three children.
Singler and her injured 11-year-old daughter were both treated at the scene. They were then transported to local hospitals. Singler was allowed to leave the hospital because police did not have enough probable cause at the time, police said. She was then considered as a victim and witness.
The Colorado Springs Police Department Homicide Unit took over the investigation and as they learned more about the circumstances surrounding the case, determined that the report of a burglary was unfounded.
