TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa woman accused of killing her
teenage children held a tissue and cried as she made her first
appearance in court. 

Judge Walter Heinrich ordered 50-year-old Julie Powers
Schenecker held without bail during the Monday morning hearing. Two  female deputies held Schenecker by the arms during the video proceeding. Her court-appointed attorney did not make a statement. 

Schenecker is accused of shooting her 13-year-old son Beau twice in the head "for talking back" Thursday evening, then shooting  her 16-year-old daughter Calyx in the face while she was doing her homework. 

Officers found Schenecker covered in blood Friday morning. 

Her husband, Parker Schenecker, is an Army officer. He was
working in the Middle East when the shootings happened.
