KATY, Texas—Disturbing new details were released Monday in a Katy shooting that left two young women and their mother dead.
A Fulshear police officer shot and killed 42-year-old Christy Sheets Friday after she shot her two daughters, 22-year-old Taylor and 17-year-old Madison.
It happened outside their home in the 6000 block of Remson Hollow Lane in the Katy area.
Detectives Monday said Christy Sheats called a family meeting Friday that also included her husband Jason, 45.
When they gathered in the living room, Christy pulled out a gun and shot Taylor and Madison. The girls and their father ran out the front door where Madison collapsed and died.
Taylor ran into the street and Christy Sheats followed, shooting Taylor again, according to detectives. A witness said she went back inside the home to reload the gun.
Jason Sheats ran to the end of the cul-de-sac.
When a Fort Bend County Sheriff's detective and a Fulshear officer arrived, they saw Sheats shoot Taylor a third time.
Sheats ignored their orders do drop her gun so the officer fired one shot, killing her.
Taylor Sheats was airlifted to Memorial Hermann Hospital where she died.
Investigators found the murder weapon and said a five-shot, .38 caliber handgun.
The Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office has responded to 14 calls for service at the residence since January of 2012. Some were alarm issues, but due to legal constraints issued by the county attorney, the Sheriff’s Office cannot describe the other calls for service, or release the 911 calls at this time.
Posts on Christy Sheats' Facebook page gave no indication of any family troubles.
