text: Graphic 911 calls capture the moments before Fort Bend mom killed daughters Husband pleaded: 'I promise you, whatever you want' 
   
   A graphic 911 call detailed the violent eruption of a Fort Bend County family just minutes before the mother and her two daughters lay fatally wounded in the street. 
   
   "Please forgive me, I'm sorry," a voice can be heard saying on a call that the Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office said was placed by daughter Madison Sheats, 17. 
   
   "Please don't shoot, I'm sorry." 
   
   "Please don't point that gun at us." 
   
   Then husband, Jason Sheats, can be heard saying, "I promise you, whatever you want, I'll ..." before the call drops off. 
   
   The mother, Christy Byrd Sheats, 42, opened fire on her children Friday after calling a family meeting. She chased the girls out of the house into the street, and then stood over them trying to fire more bullets. 
   
   She went back into the house to reload, then fired another shot into the back of one of the girls, according to another 911 call by a neighbor who witnessed the shootings. 
   
   Daughters, Taylor, 22, and Madison, died of gunshot wounds. Christy Sheats was shot and killed by law enforcement officers who arrived at the scene as she was firing the final shot. 
   
   A family friend, Madison Davey, 21, said Tuesday she knew the mother had a history of mental illness, and had been "in and out of mental hospitals."

   "I do want people to know the truth, and everybody is like 'What is Christy's motive?'" Davey said. "Christy did not have a motive. Christy was not mentally stable, and mental illness is a serious issue." 
   
   Fort Bend County sheriff's officials also confirmed Monday that they had received several mental health-related calls for help over the past four years at the family's residence. 
   
   Three of the phone calls the sheriff's office responded to in the past were suicide attempts, although the Sheriff's Office would not confirm who the calls concerned.

   Christy and her husband, Jason, 45 — who was also targeted by his wife in the shooting but was unharmed — had been separated in the past, Davey said. The two never divorced. 
   
   "I know that Jason and Christy were fighting about several different issues but I'm not sure what the final thing was that made her snap," she said. 
   
   Davey also said Christy never liked people coming over to the house while she was around.

   Taylor was a student at Lone Star College-Cy Fair and was engaged to be married on Monday. Madison was an incoming senior at Seven Lakes High School, Katy Independent School District officials confirmed. 
   
   Davey shared memories of her friend Taylor as a passionate and talented artist who was thinking of pursuing a career in teaching. 
   
   "The thing I enjoyed most about Taylor was her attitude towards life," Davey said. "Taylor never complained. She was always laughing and smiling." ||||| Transcript of the 911 calls in the Fort Bend family shooting 
   
   Graphic 911 calls captured the violent argument that erupted in a Fort Bend County home just minutes before a mother and her two daughters lay fatally wounded in the street in their quiet, suburban neighborhood: 
   
   "Please don't point that gun at us," father Jason Sheats can be heard screaming on the 911 recordings. "Please. Please, don't shoot my family." 
   
   The calls reveal the harrowing back-and-forth between Christy Byrd Sheats, her husband and their two daughters, Taylor, 22, and Madison, 17, before the shooting Friday afternoon near Fulshear. 
   
   RELATED: Shooting started with a 'family meeting' 
   
   The sisters and their father can be heard begging the woman to put down the gun. Instead, Christy Sheats, 42, opened fire on her daughters then chased them into the street before she eventually was shot dead by law enforcement officers. 
   
   Madison Sheats died at the scene. Taylor Sheats, who was set to be married Monday, died later at a local hospital. Jason Sheats, 45, escaped into the cul de sac and was not injured. 
   
   Recordings of the three calls - placed by Taylor and Madison Sheats and an unidentified neighbor - were released Tuesday by the Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office. 
   
   The first call, which authorities said was placed by Madison, begins with a woman's voice, apparently Christy Sheats, shouting.

   "I told you ...," she says, before a man's voice can be heard shouting, "Please forgive me, I'm sorry." 
   
   The father and daughters can all be heard apologizing to Christy Sheats without explaining why. 
   
   "Wait ... please don't shoot," one of the girls said. 
   
   "Don't do it. Please don't do it," says another.

   Jason Sheats can then be heard saying, "I promise you, whatever you want, I'll ..." before the call drops off. 
   
   The second call came from Taylor Sheats' phone, authorities said. It captured more screams and shouts, but the words are indiscernible. 
   
   A third 911 call from a neighbor provided a second-by-second account of the mother chasing the daughters outside the home then standing over them trying to fire more shots. 
   
   "There's a lady with a gun," the caller said, peering outside the window of his home. "They're lying in the street, in the middle of the street." 
   
   She apparently stopped only when the gun was empty, then went inside to reload, he said. 
   
   "She's trying to shoot again," the neighbor said, his voice shaking. "She don't have any more bullets." 
   
   She returned to fire another shot into Taylor Sheats. 
   
   "Oh," the witness groaned. "She shot her again. She shot her again ... She shot her from the back." 
   
   The neighbor said he heard more gunshots, then told the dispatcher that the woman had fallen to the ground. He quickly realized that law enforcement officers had arrived. 
   
   "It doesn't look like she's moving anymore," he told the 911 dispatcher. 
   
   "I'm sorry you had to see that, sir," the dispatcher said. 
   
   A family friend, Madison Davey, 21, said Tuesday she knew that Christy Sheats had a history of mental illness, and had been "in and out of mental hospitals." 
   
   She didn't like people coming to the house while she was there, Davey said. 
   
   "I do want people to know the truth," Davey said. "Christy did not have a motive. Christy was not mentally stable, and mental illness is a serious issue." 
   
   Fort Bend County sheriff's officials said they had received 14 calls for help from the home over the past four years, including three attempted suicides. But they would not identify which member of the family was suicidal. 
   
   Christy and Jason Sheats had been separated in the past, Davey said, but had never divorced. 
   
   "I know that Jason and Christy were fighting about several different issues but I'm not sure what the final thing was that made her snap," she said. 
   
   Taylor was a student at Lone Star College-Cy Fair and was engaged to be married Monday to her boyfriend of four years, Juan Sebastian Lugo, according to a Facebook post from her grandmother. Madison was an incoming senior at Seven Lakes High School, Katy Independent School District officials confirmed. 
   
   Davey said her friend Taylor as a passionate and talented artist who was thinking of pursuing a career in teaching. 
   
   "The thing I enjoyed most about Taylor was her attitude towards life," Davey said. "Taylor never complained. She was always laughing and smiling." ||||| Authorities on Tuesday released 911 calls that capture the panic in a Houston-area home before a mother killed her two daughters, as well as in the home of a neighbor after the shootings. 
   
   
   
   The Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office released recordings of two 911 calls from Christy Sheats' daughters, 17-year-old Madison Sheats and 22-year-old Taylor Sheats. A third 911 call came from a neighbor's home. 
   
   Fort Bend County Sheriff Troy Nehls said Wednesday that Christy Sheats called a family meeting Friday, apparently to tell the family that she and her husband were going to divorce, the Houston Chronicle reports. 
   
   After an argument, she "quickly" pulled out a handgun and fatally shot her two daughters before an officer killed her. 
   
   Nehls interviewed her husband, 45-year-old Jason Sheats, who was uninjured in the shooting. 
   
   Christy Sheats wanted "to punish her husband," Nehls said Wednesday. 
   
   The sheriff's office said on Facebook that "two of the calls are from Taylor and Madison and are difficult to listen to." 
   
   
   
   In the first call, a voice is heard crying, "Please! Forgive [inaudible]! Please! Don't shoot!" After a scream, someone cries, "Please! I'm sorry." A voice yells "Please! Don't point that gun at us!" 
   
   
   
   Another voice, possibly that of husband Jason Sheats, is heard saying, "I promise you, whatever you want," before the call is disconnected. 
   
   In the second call, a woman is heard saying, weakly, "She shot [inaudible]." 
   
   In the third call, a neighbor describes Madison and Taylor Sheats, apparently still alive, lying in the street in front of their house. The neighbor describes Christy Sheats in a purple dress kneeling over one of her daughters and shooting her dead. The other daughter died later at a hospital. 
   
   "There's a guy trying to help them, but the lady is on top of one of them with a gun in her hand," the panicked neighbor says in a recording of the call obtained by the Houston Chronicle. 
   
   
   
   "She's standing over one of the patients with the gun?" the dispatcher asks. 
   
   "Yes... It looks like both of them are alive," the neighbor says. "She's trying to shoot again on top of her, but apparently she don't have anymore bullets." 
   
   The man then tells the dispatcher that the woman went back into the house. 
   
   "Hopefully she's not getting anymore bullets, because she looks like she's going to look for more bullets," he says. 
   
   About a minute later, the neighbor tells 911 the woman has returned with more bullets. 
   
   "Oh," the man says, with pain in his voice. "She shot her again ... From the back." 
   
   The neighbor, who occasionally tells his family members to get on the floor, says he could hear more gunfire before seeing the woman lying on the ground. The man says he thinks the woman shot herself , then says she has stopped moving. 
   
   
   
   "Sir, I'm so sorry you're seeing this," the dispatcher tells him. 
   
   A Fulshear police officer killed Christy Sheats after she refused demands to drop her gun. 
   
   Her Facebook profile included a pro-gun post, alongside posts about how much she loved members of her family. 
   
   Officials said Christy Sheats had been hospitalized several times after suicide attempts and had a history of mental illness. 
   
   Authorities had been called to the home 14 times in the past four years, including three times for suicide attempts, once for a possible suicide attempt and one for an argument, Nehls said.

   The terrifying final moments of two Katy sisters were captured in 911 recordings released Tuesday. 
   
   Madison and Taylor Sheats both called 911 before their mother, Christy Sheats, shot them to death. Their father, Jason Sheats, could be heard begging his wife not to shoot them as the girls screamed in the background. 
   
   “Please don’t point the gun at us … I beg you, please put it away,” Jason Sheats pleaded. “I’m sorry. I promise you, whatever you want … “ 
   
   Madison Davey, a family friend, said Christy hid the gun in the couch cushions before she called a family meeting. When she pulled out the gun, Jason tried to push the girls out the front door, Davey said. 
   
   Taylor and Madison Sheats 
   
   Madison, 17, was shot just as she made it outside. She collapsed and died. 
   
   Taylor, 22, was shot once inside the home. Christy Sheats followed her outside and shot her again. Then she went inside, reloaded and shot Taylor a third time, according to Fort Bend County investigators. 
   
   "She's coming back again. Oh!!! She shot her again. The female that was lying on the ground," a neighbor told the 911 dispatcher.

   That's when a Fulshear police officer shot and killed Christy Sheats. 
   
   "I can hear bullets," the neighbor said. "She [the shooter] is lying down... It doesn't look like she's moving anymore." 
   
   Jason Sheats ran to a neighbor’s house for help. He wasn’t shot. 
   
   Witnesses said before the shootings, Christy yelled that she wanted her husband to suffer. The shootings happened on his birthday. 
   
   Davey said the couple had marital problems and Christy had moved out for a while and had recently moved back in. 
   
   Madison and Taylor Sheats 
   
   The 38-revolver she used was apparently passed down to Christy from her grandfather, and Jason was unaware she owned a gun. 
   
   Taylor had planned to marry her longtime boyfriend on Monday at the courthouse, Davey said. She graduated from Lone Star College but wanted to return to school for a degree in art or teaching. 
   
   Davey said Taylor and Madison were both talented artists. Madison was going to be a senior at Seven Lakes High School.

   Now, family members are now planning their funerals. There will be a memorial service for Taylor and Madison in Houston and they’ll be buried in Alabama. 
   
   Christy’s funeral will be separate and she will be cremated.

target: – Police have released the heartbreaking 911 calls placed in the moments before Texas mom Christy Sheats killed her two daughters Friday. In the first of three calls—which are "difficult to listen to," say police—Madison, 17, and Taylor, 22, can be heard pleading with their mom not to shoot. "Please forgive me, I'm sorry," a voice says, per the Houston Chronicle. "Please don't shoot, I'm sorry." A scream is then heard, followed by a male voice believed to be that of husband and father Jason Sheats pleading, "Please don't point that gun at us … I beg you, please put it away," per KHOU. "I promise you whatever you want," the man continues before the call ends. A second call includes only muffled voices, screams, and shouts, per the Chronicle. In a third call, a neighbor describes the two daughters lying in the street. He watches as a woman in a purple dress emerges from the house with a gun and stands over one of the victims. "She's trying to shoot again … but apparently she don't have any more bullets," he says, per the Dallas Morning News. He watches the woman go back inside to reload, then return. "Oh! She shot her again," he says, per KHOU. "From the back. She was trying to run." He then hears more gunfire and sees the shooter on the ground—killed by a police officer's bullet. A family friend says Sheats had recently moved back into the home and hid a gun in a couch before calling a family meeting. Fort Bend County police say they received a dozen calls from the home in four years, including three regarding suicide attempts. It isn't clear who the calls were about.
