Nobody Dies In Grandma's Botched Murder/Suicide

"CHRISTIANSBURG, VA — A Christiansburg woman and her granddaughter are both currently hospitalized in North Carolina after police say the woman allegedly abducted the five-year-old from school, transported her to Winston-Salem, and harmed her in a failed murder-suicide attempt.

"Angela Terri Lynch, 43, allegedly checked the girl out from Falling Branch Elementary School in Christiansburg mid-Wednesday morning and disappeared.

"Lynch was on the school’s approved pickup list for the girl, though police say the child’s mother did not know she planned to pick up the child during the school day.

"Both were reported missing to the Christiansburg Police Department around 10:00 p.m. Wednesday.

"Investigators say that housekeeping staff at a Hampton Inn and Suites in Winston-Salem found Lynch and the child when entering a room for routine cleaning this morning.

"Both Lynch and the child were semi-conscious and in need of immediate medical treatment.

"Police believe the child’s injuries were inflicted by Lynch in an attempt to take her life. Lynch was suffering from similar self-inflicted injuries, as well as the effects of an undetermined amount of medication.

"Lynch and the child were transported to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. Both are listed in stable condition at this time.

"No information is being released regarding a possible motive."
