Texas Gun Nut mother went ape shit and killed daughers and pointed gun at cops who killed her quickly
http://nypost.com/2016/06/27/dont-do-this-dad-begs-wife-who-fatally-shot-daughters/The husband of Texas killer mom Christy Sheats begged her in vain not to shoot their two daughters, a neighbor who witnessed the carnage said Sunday.
“Don’t do this, they’re our kids!” the panicked father, Jason Sheats, screamed to his wife, 42, who shot Taylor, 22, and Madison, 17, before being gunned down herself by cops.
The chilling witness account surfaced two days after the Friday massacre outside the family’s home in suburban Houston.
The officer who killed Christy feared she was about to pump still more bullets into one of the dying daughters, said the neighbor, Fazz Zainuddin.
“She walked towards the body, I think Madison, already on the ground, and I guess the cop was afraid that she was going to shoot her again,” he told local NBC affiliate KPRC.
Neighbors said the daughters were already bleeding as they ran for their lives on Remson Hollow Lane in the town of Katy, according to a local ABC affiliate.
The carnage happened on the dad’s 45th birthday.
“He was going through a difficult time,” Fort Bend County Sheriff Troy Nehls told reporters.
Photos posted to social media show medics leading the weeping father through the first moments of life without his daughters and wife.
“All I saw was the police officer aiming his rifle toward someone and saying, ‘Drop your weapons,’ and then afterward another gunshot,” neighbor Sabeeh Siddiqui told ABC.
Authorities believe the killing stemmed from an argument at the home. Neighbors told local media that the couple’s marriage was strained, though they remained shocked that something like this could happen.
“She was just such a sweet girl,” friend Matthew Wiley said of Taylor, the older daughter.
“She had tons of friends. I just can’t believe it happened.”
Photos online show the mom puckering up for selfies with the daughters, who smile broadly.
The mom was an avowed gun-rights advocate who in March posted to Facebook: “It would be horribly tragic if my ability to protect myself or my family were to be taken away,”
In a 2015 post, she wished her “girls” a “Happy Daughters Day,” writing, “My amazing, sweet, kind, beautiful, intelligent girls. I love and treasure you both more than you could ever possibly know.”
