Madison Davey, a family friend, said Christy had hidden the gun in a couch’s cushions before she called a family meeting. “I didn’t want to get involved, but soon afterwards, I heard a gunshot, so I opened up the blinds, and I saw a police officer aiming his gun toward somebody and saying drop your weapon”, Siddiqui said.
Details have begun to trickle out about the shocking killings, including newly released audio from 911 calls that came from the Sheats girls.
She went back inside to reload, returned, and shot her youngest daughter Madison in the back.
Hollis said that he had tried to contact Sheats by phone to remove erroneous information she posted to her “LinkedIn” account regarding her role with the company and her time at the company.
Christy Sheats, 42, shot and killed her two daughters, Taylor, 22, and Madison, 17, according to police. After she refused to put down her weapon, police say an officer shot her dead.
“[The husband] loved his daughters”, a family friend told ABC13. She worked as a babysitter, according to her Facebook page.
Neighbors said the parents may have been having marital problems. At one point she appeared to run out of bullets, causing her to go inside, he said. Taylor Sheats was taken by a medical helicopter to a local hospital, where she later died. She was known to have suffered from mental illness, and is reported to have been a Houston gun advocate. “She had a plan and she knew exactly what she was doing”, said Mascorro, 20, who had enlisted Taylor Sheats to help his photo booth business.
Davey said she spoke afterward to Jason, who described tension in the home on his birthday Friday, where an argument between the quarrelsome couple had broken out, leaving the daughters caught in the middle. “I found that really weird because she would always tell me what was wrong with her but that day she just didn’t tell me”.
“He was intelligent and the best pitcher I ever coached”, Smith said about Sheats. She shot her oldest daughter once inside their home.
It was during a family meeting that a mother pulled out a five-shot, .38 caliber handgun and shot her two daughters to death, the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office announced Monday.
Their daughters – Madison Sheats, 17, and 22-year old Taylor – were both fatally injured.
Fort Bend County Sheriff Troy Nehls told Houston Chronicle that a family altercation escalated into the gun violence. Taylor Sheats was shot three times, police tell Crimesider.
Gillespie said he was not sure how Jason and Christy met but remembers they were inseparable in high school.
