Texas Mom Kills her Two Daughters Over Family Dispute: Daughter set to Marry in 3 days

So sad, what would have pushed a mother to commit such an heinous crime. A Texas Woman, 42-year-old Christy Sheats, gunned down her two daughters Taylor Sheats, 23, and her 17-year-old sister Madison on Friday evening over a family dispute and it's now been revealed that Taylor was supposed to wed three days after her killing.

A police officer fatally shot the mother around 5 p.m. on Friday after arriving to the family’s subdivision to find Sheats shooting at one of her daughters in the street.

 Taylor (picture below) and her longtime boyfriend had set their wedding date for Monday, according to a Facebook post from his relative cited by KTRK-TV.

“Y'all were a part of our family and that will never change,” the relative wrote. “The greatest in-laws anyone could ever have, and the sweetest, most wholesome and caring girls in my life. I look up to ya'll so much. Y'all were a light in the midst of this crazy world. We will all love you two until the end of time.”

The mom called the family meeting on Friday with her two daughters and her husband, Jason Sheats, 45, and then took out her gun and shot the two women, according to the sheriff’s office.


The mother had posted on Facebook in the months leading up to the shooting about her support for gun ownership rights and how much she loved her daughters.
