Texas Mom Kills Daughters on Dad's Birthday

17-year-old Madison Sheats & her 22-year-old sister Taylor were shot and killed by their mother on June 24, 2016. We may never know what caused Christy Sheats to open fire on her family that day, or why she spared her husband Jason, who was also home when the gunfire began.
Days after the shootings, Dr. Drew and a panel of legal and mental health experts discuss the shocking events on HLN.

My husband has a glock under his pillow, my AR10 is within easy reach to me and my mini 14 is sitting next to my bed. Break into my house and good luck to you! You better talk fast! I live in Oklahoma and we have the lovely make my day law! I’m sixty and have never needed to shoot anyone nor do I wish to but I won’t be a willing victim either. Was driving home and couldn’t turn because a man was beating his girlfriend in the middle of the road! I started to just go around but my daughter wouldn’t let me. I picked up the glock on my console and put in a clip and started toward him when I saw two cowboys had stopped and had rifles aimed on him but no one was going to shoot him because he grabbed his toddler out of the back and was using her as a shield while he continued beating his tiny wife with his legs and free hand. She was so beat up she had broken bones and couldn’t see out of her eyes. He had beat her that badly. The paramedics showed up and the scum ran off on foot with a toddler. The police got him. When I gave the police my testimony I showed him my gun and he said next time shoot him in the legs! He said look you would want someone to help you so you have to stop and help her. We can’t always get here in time and you have to protect each other! I wonder what the liberal blonde would want if someone was beating her to that point? They want to be rid of police? They want to make criminals the victims? The result will be gun owners protecting themselves! Now where this murdering Mom is concerned why did the father not turn a gun on her instead of being her victim?

[@browneyedgirl4637]

She interrupts him and that is ok but when he wanted to finish his statement after she interrupted she called him “mansplaining”. Then she looks at her watch multiple times being just rude and childish. She brought gender conflicts into the conversation by claiming he was “mansplaining” which disgusts me and made me lose any and all respect for her from that point forward. Anyone who does that needs to go. Lean on your facts and conversation skills rather than bring gender, race or sexuality in your attempt to shut down the person you are speaking with.

Why does that clinical psychologist have a smile on her face the whole time?

[@factsmatter8667]

The shrill woman on the panel saying "mother's don't normally harm their children" is ridiculous. "Depleted coping skills..."? WTF? Mothers harm their children all the time. ALL THE TIME.

It’s always a mental illness excuse when one of “them” does something sickening.

There is no reason to take another's life!

[@cherylsabol387]

Her mental health & love of guns 🤔 the gun isn’t to blame!!! Blame the nut who wielded it!

[@myartprocess6003]

No one knows anything...but I bet Catherine Knowles wants to sell her book. (Rolls eyes).

[@truecrimequeen75]

ummm...first of all...this is a waaaaay old story. It didnt happen a week ago so WTF???!! Exact date was 2016!!

[@tootsd]

This is so crazy. Those poor young ladies. This is just so sad.

[@julievandervaart4083]

What the hell is wrong with people these days

[@clairenisbet5869]

This is so incredibly offensive to people with Borderline personality disorder. The ignorance in this is unbelievable. People with BPD are much more likely to be the victim of abuse than be abusive. There are many many people with mental health issues that do not harm people. Disgusted by the remarks in this

[@jessicamarie8299]

yea ok Amber Heard a victim?😂😂😂

[@geraldine1437]

Domestic Violence Is Real! She knew what she was doing. THAT IS A LIE! There are many women who have HARMED THEIR CHILDREN. Who is she?

[@mommabearoncrimeandlife6201]

Prayers for the dad that’s so sad 😞

[@supermiss1100]

Wow, trainee psychotherapist watching from the UK, this women will use mental health to diminish responsibility, when it was clearly premeditated

[@KathrynCeleste51]

MonsterMommieDearest….. My heart is broken for the dad….. I can’t even begin to imagine his pain that no parent should ever feel….

[@olgamiller216]

Dr. Drew & Ms. Bloom miss the point. In heavily gun controlled countries we here of numerous stories where men on a rampage kill numerous people with knives. In fact, England & Wales, in 2019 there were 43,516 knife crime offences in 12 months ending in March 2019. This was an 80% increase spanning over 5yrs. Interestingly enough, most of the violent attacks involved no weapons. These stats did not include murder by poison. Getting back to the states; neither one mentioned the decapitation of that poor woman at an OK food plant. Yup, right here in the states. She wasn't able to "run away". I get so tired of people "stacking the deck" & going after a person w/different perspectives. Bradford Cohen said nothing about letting a mentally unstable person retain firearms. Why not ask why her "doctor" & husband allowed them to be kept in the house? I'm for gun ownership but not for the mentally feeble. My late father-in-law was a drunk & a danger to society & when my late husband discovered what he did when drunk, he had the cops remove his dad's guns from his dad's household. This was way back in the 70's. Seems like more people than ever don't have the sense that God gave a billy goat!

[@themessenger4208]

This whole story sounds hinky, it will be interesting to know the history of the entire family starting with the 911 calls from 2012 (I think).

[@denisechavis4820]

When you are the right color it’s a mental health condition, others you’re just a bad person throw them under the jail

[@yecoliahisrael4156]

I was thinking the same thing 🤔 The bias is so sad but further confirms the very real disdain for women of color.

[@kimberlynw1799]

I have a hard time thinking that the father was completely innocent

[@cheechalker8430]

Lisa Bloom: “NO ONE ELSE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO SPEAK!!! IF YOU DON’T AGREE WITH ME, I’LL JUST TALK LOUDER!!!!”

[@sweetsongstress7398]

Rude!! Wow has she gotten to be full of herself and mispronounced Bradley's name multiple times, looking at her watch. I wouldn't invite her back. This story and lives of those 2 innocents are waaaaay more important than you LB!!

[@MichelleLyn84]

People that just converse about their children and do not talk about their personal lives aren’t really genuine friends. That’s an acquaintance, mentally ill people keep things superficial for a reason. This lady didn’t know didly squat about her!!

[@karensuewho]

Lisa is ridiculous. She won’t let the guy talk and then accuses him of mansplaining. No lady he’s just trying to talk but since you don’t agree with him you’re attempting to talk over him and getting mad that he won’t let you interpret him. Why does the world make excuses for women when they kill but when a man does it he’s just a monster. This Mom was a monster! She called a family meeting just to kill her children, I mean come on.

[@brega6286]

Attempted suicide several times. I think the husband had an affair with a bossy female like Jenna and this woman Christy was finally driven crazy.
