Police have released the chilling 911 calls from the shootings of Taylor and Madison Sheats by their mother, Christy Sheats, in Katy, Texas. Her husband, Jason Sheats, was not shot after escaping to a neighbor’s house to get help.
Christy Sheats, 42, killed her daughters, 22, and 17, last Friday before she was shot dead by a responding officer, the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office said.
The first call, which lasts about 45 seconds, was made by 17-year-old Madison Sheats. She can be heard screaming, along with her father, Jason Sheats, who begs his wife to not shoot them.
In the second call, 22-year-old Taylor Sheats tells the dispatcher, “I’m shot.”
The third call was made by a neighbor. Jason Sheats, who was celebrating his birthday on the day of the shooting, can be heard pleading with his wife as Taylor and Madison scream in the background during the first 911 call.
“Please put down that gun, don’t shoot us,” Jason Sheats said as a shriek is heard from one of the girls. “I’m sorry … Baby, I beg you. I’ll do anything you say. Please don’t point that gun at us. I’m sorry, I promise you, whatever you want…”
The call was then disconnected.
In the second call, Taylor Sheats can be heard sobbing after yelling “I’m shot” as the 911 dispatcher tries to get information from her. “Please,” she says as the call disconnects.
The third call, the longest of the three, was made by a neighbor after the incident spilled into the quiet neighborhood street outside the Sheats’ home.
“We need an ambulance right away,” the neighbor said. “Two people, I believe they’re shot. … There’s a lady with a gun, she’s coming out of the house right now. Two people shot outside, two people shot outside.”
The dispatcher asks if Sheats is still shooting and the neighbor says no, but the gun is in her hand.
The neighbor says Sheats was wearing a purple dress. He said the daughters were “laying in the middle of the street. And there’s a guy trying to help them, but the lady is on top of one of them with the gun in her hand. … She’s in the street just standing up.”
He said it looks like both the victims were alive.
“She’s trying to shoot again, but apparently she don’t have any more bullets … she’s going inside the house now, it looks like she’s going to look for more bullets,” the neighbor said. After about a minute, he says she is coming back outside again.
“Apparently she has bullets now,” he said. “Oh! She shot her again, from the back, she’s trying to run. … She’s shooting again, they’re running down the street.”
