A Houston, Texas gun advocate and mother was shot by police after shooting and killing both of her daughters following an argument on Saturday, June 25.
The mother, identified as Christy Sheats, 42, shot and killed both of her young daughters, Taylor, 22, and Madison, 17, according to local reports. It was their father’s birthday, and the domestic dispute started in the family’s home but escalated to gun violence that ended in the street in front of the house.
According to the Houston Chronicle, Fort Bend County Sheriff Troy Nehls said:
‘IT WAS A FAMILY ARGUMENT THAT TURNED INTO A SHOOTING, BUT WE’RE STILL TRYING TO PUT THE PIECES TOGETHER.’
According to several witnesses, the girls tried to escape with their father, Jason, but were shot by their mother in the yard and street before they could. The father did manage to flee the scene eventually, unhurt, and called police from a neighbor’s house.
The couple, Jason and Christy Sheats, had only recently reunited after separating. Police records show deputies had been called to the home several times before. Jason Sheats, although unharmed, was taken to the hospital because he was so emotionally distraught.
