Although in the hospital, Johnson is considered to be in custody and being investigated for two counts of attempted homicide, domestic violence and assault

According to court documents, Johnson's wife had filed for divorce on Jan. 12.

I pray those babies recover. I commend those officers for trying so hard to get through the front door that was barricaded by furniture.

Another warped man that couldn't stand to lose control and who just loves his kids 'to death'....I so hope the children recover, and him, because he needs to sit in jail for the rest of his life thinking about what he did...

UPDATE

He got the ultimate sentence.

When the girl was found, she had burns over 50 percent of her body, including on her face, chest and arms, the girl's grandfather told 7NEWS.

The boy was not burned, but suffered smoke inhalation, the grandfather said. He has since been released from the hospital and is recovering at home. His sister is still undergoing treatment at Children's Hospital.
