A woman fatally shot two
of her daughters in a quiet suburb outside Houston before she was killed by a
police officer.
Christy Sheats, 42, shot
her daughters Taylor Sheats, 22, and Madison Sheats, 17, following a family
dispute that spilled out from their home and onto the street in Fulshear,
Texas, on Friday.
The mother was killed by
a responding police officer after she refused to drop her pistol. Madison was
pronounced dead on the scene, while Taylor was airlifted to a hospital where
she later died.
Police received an emergency call around 5pm on Friday evening and found daughters Taylor and Madison lying outside in the 6000 block of Remson Hollow Lane.
Christy was still
holding a pistol, and a Fulshear police officer was forced to shoot her after
she refused to put it down, said Troy Nehls, a Fort Bend County Sheriff.
It is unclear whether
Christy was pointing the gun at the responding police officer or at one of her
daughters.
Madison was dead by the
time authorities arrived on the scene, according to the sheriff's office.
Taylor was airlifted to
Texas Medical Center in Houston in critical condition on Friday, and the Fort
Bend County Sheriff's Office confirmed she had died by Saturday morning.
