The sheriff’s office says it has responded to 14 calls at the house since January 2012. Jason and both daughters managed to run outside through the front door. “They’re our kids, ‘” Zainuddin said.

Christy Sheats, 42, fatally shot daughters Taylor, 22, and Madison, 17, on Friday in Fulshear, west of Houston, according to the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office.

Sheriff Troy Nehls says the shooting apparently climaxed a family argument, but the reason for the argument remains unclear.

Investigators and neighbors are still trying to piece together what started this tragic incident.

Judy Chrisler taught Jason Sheats in seventh, 10th and 12th grades. Madison was shot once outside the home, while Taylor was shot once inside and twice again outside. Obama wants 8 of my guns.

“All I saw was the police officer aiming his rifle toward someone and saying, ‘Drop your weapons, ‘ and then afterwards another gunshot”, neighbour Sabeeh Siddiqui said.

She captioned the photo: “That’s right!” The older daughter died at the scene; the younger one at a hospital. She said the shooting happened on Jason’s birthday. Her posts include photos of her drawings and articles about politics and social issues. Madison Sheats was to begin her senior year at Seven Lakes High School in Katy this fall. “I thought it was the wrong person”.

Records obtained by the Chronicle show that authorities had visited the family home multiple times, though the sheriff would not disclose why. Espinosa earlier told People magazine the calls involved Christy Sheats’ “mental crisis”. “I wish there was something I could’ve done”, Knowles said. “Your own children, I don’t know what could possibly go through someone’s head”. Taylor Sheats was shot three times, police tell Crimesider. Not only did Christy Sheats stab and then shoot her girls on June 24, but the oldest daughter was actually supposed to be getting married just days later on the 27.
