Christy Sheats: 911 Calls Released, Daughters Beg For Their Lives

Warning: What you are about to hear is pretty upsetting.


After 42-year-old Christy Sheats gunned down her daughters – Taylor, 22, and Madison, 17 – the 911 calls placed by both the girls and neighbors have been made public.


According to KHOU, Christy called a family meeting on June 24th.  


She and her husband, Jason had recently reconciled after a separation (she had moved out of the house for awhile), but according to family friend Madison Davey, they were fighting all the time.


That day, which also happened to be Jason"s birthday, was allegedly "tense" for the couple.  So when Christy called the family meeting, she hid her .38-calibur handgun (a family heirloom) in the couch, then pulled it out.


Madison made the first 911 call, and you could hear Jason pleading in the background.


“Please don’t point the gun at us … I beg you, please put it away,” he begged. “I’m sorry. I promise you, whatever you want … “


Jason then tried to push the girls out the front door, according to Davey, who spoke to him after the ordeal.


Madison was killed first as she tried to get out the front door.


Christy shot Taylor inside the home, but she managed to get outside.  Her mother followed her outside and shot her again.


At this point, a neighbor had called 911 and relayed the entire scene to the dispatcher.


"She"s coming back again. Oh!!! She shot her again. The female that was lying on the ground," the neighbor said, as police arrived and shot Christy.


"I can hear bullets.


"She [the shooter] is lying down… It doesn"t look like she"s moving anymore."


Witnesses also said that Christy yelled that she wanted Jason "to suffer."


Davey said that Jason had no idea Christy owned a gun, and that she told him that killing the girls was about "punishing" him.


According to Davey, Taylor had graduated Lone Star College, was going to marry her longterm boyfriend at the courthouse.


Madison was going to be a senior at the local high school.


A memorial will be held for both girls in Houston, and they will be buried in Alabama.

Christy Sheats: Texas Mom Murdered Daughters To "Punish" Their Father

New details have emerged regarding the shooting of two young ladies from Katy, Texas.


Madison and Taylor Sheats were gunned down by their mother, Christy Sheats following a “family meeting,” according to neighbors.



Family friend Madison Davey told ABC-13 that Christy, 42, “was out to kill that day” when she called a family meeting in their living room.  It also happened to be her husband, Jason’s birthday.


The couple were separated, but had recently reconciled. That day, however, the atmosphere inside the Sheats home was tense, and the girls got caught in the middle.


“He was the best dad ever,” Davey said of Jason.


“I would hang out with him and he loved being around us,” Davey recalled.


Davey spoke to Jason about what happened, and he recalled that he begged his wife not to shoot their kids.


“Just shoot yourself,” he said.  “Make it easy on all of us, just shoot yourself.”


Christy refused, according to Davey, telling him “No, that’s not what this is about, this is about punishing you.”


Christy opened fire on her daughters, who ran out the front door with their dad.  


Madison, 17, collapsed before she could leave the property, and while Taylor, 22, managed to make it as far as the street.


When police arrived, they found Christy over Taylor’s body, which she shot again after reloading back in the house.  


When she refused to surrender, officers fatally shot her.


“I always knew something would happen, but I never thought she would do this,” Davey said.


“Christy was toxic for the family. She was mentally unstable.”


Now Davey is helping with funeral preparations for the girls, who will be laid to rest in Alabama this week.


“They were so funny — for sisters, you would think they would fight, but no.


“They loved each other a lot and were always laughing.”


The gun Christy used was a .38-calibur handgun, reportedly passed down from her great-grandfather as a way to “protect her family.”


No official reports have been published yet on any mental issues Christy suffered.


Christy Sheats: Why Did The Texas Mom Kill Her Two Daughters?

What happened on June 24th has left three dead, and several looking for answers.



“It was a family argument that turned into a shooting,” Fort Bend County Sheriff Troy Nehls told the Houston Chronicle, unable to elaborate.


“We’re still trying to put the pieces together.”


Christy Sheats of Katy, Texas shot her daughters -Taylor, 22, and Madison, 17 – before police arrived.


“The armed shooter was also in the street and, after refusing to drop her weapon, was shot and killed by a Fulshear officer.”


Madison died on the scene, and Taylor later died after being rushed to Texas Medical Center.


The three women were celebrating their dad, Jason’s birthday.  He and Christy had recently gotten back together after separating, according to KTRK-TV.


According to the Associated Press, Christy called a family meeting in their living room. 


“During that meeting, Christy Sheats held up a gun and shot both girls,” the sheriff’s office said.


Jason reportedly told Christy “Don’t do this. They’re our kids,” before running to a neighbor for help, one witness told KPRC.


Madison and Taylor ran outside as their mother shot them.  Christy went inside, reloaded her gun, and continued to shoot Taylor, who body she stood over when police arrived.


The Associated Press reports that police had been called to the Sheats’ home 14 times since 2012.  While some of the calls were “related to alarm issues,” details on others couldn’t be released for legal reasons.


However, the Sheriff’s office did tell people that some of those calls had to do with Christy suffering a “mental crisis.”


Friends are shocked by what Christy did.


“This woman loved her children. That was her life purpose. That was her pride. That was her joy,” Catherine Knowles told Time.


“Christy wasn’t crazy. I don’t know what could have made her snap. To do this, it’s insanity. The whole thing.


“She loved God. She loved her kids. I don’t get it. I don’t get it at all.”


Christy’s Facebook page is filled with photos from concerts, as well as passionate beliefs over gun control.


“It would be horribly tragic if my ability to protect myself or my family were to be taken away,” she wrote in March,“but that’s exactly what Democrats are determined to do by banning semi-automatic handguns.”


In September, Christy gushed about her two girls on Daughters Day.


“Happy Daughter’s Day to my two amazing, sweet, kind, beautiful, intelligent girls,” the 42-year wrote.


“I love and treasure you both more than you could ever possibly know.”
