GRAND FORKS (AP) - A prosecutor says an East Grand Forks, Minn., woman charged with trying to poison her two daughters with vehicle exhaust has undergone a psychological evaluation and been found fit to stand trial.

Thirty-one-year-old Breezetta Etienne is charged with trying to poison her daughters in June. She has pleaded not guilty to two counts of attempted murder.

Authorities said Etienne and her daughters, ages 3 and 4, were found inside a running sport utility vehicle in their garage. Court documents said a hose led from the exhaust pipe into the vehicle. Officers found what appeared to be a suicide note.

Etienne is in Fargo, and has been ordered to have no contact with her children.

She is the sister of Moe Gibbs, who was convicted last year of killing Valley City State University student Mindy Morgenstern.
