Christy Sheats, the office told the newspaper, died from a gunshot wound to the chest. Online in social media posts and photos, the Sheats family seemed tight-knit and loving. A sheriff’s office spokesperson told People magazine the calls involved a “mental crisis” related to the 42-year-old mother. When the family ran outside, fleeing Sheats’ bullets, the daughters, both already shot, collapsed in the street, reported the AP. In the calls, the daughters can be heard crying and screaming, begging for their lives.
