Husband and Daughters Beg For Their Lives in Chilling 911 Calls Placed Moments Before Texas Mom Open

3. 14 calls for disturbances, history of mental illness, one of millions of gun inheritors.

"By the time she reloaded her weapon – a five shot, .38-caliber handgun, which her husband said had been passed down by her great grandfather to "protect her family" – and returned to the street, deputies were on scene."
...
"As the investigation unfurled, it was later revealed that Christy had a history of mental illness and the couple had extensive interactions with the local authorities, as Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office had responded to 14 calls for service at the home since January of 2012."

The family is the first line of defense, but they often either fail or enable. I bet this fella never thought in a million years that she was capable of that, even with her illness. Sometimes things can fool you, after you think you have been managing it for years. Even so, the professionals - 14 calls? And no one thought to say "Hey, you got any guns"? or "Your house is surrounded and we ain't comin' in till we are sure".

Then again, that neighborhood looked like one where they let such things slide for too long.

Too much leeway, even, finally, at the scene of the murders. According to accounts, she reloaded and came back, and the deputies watched her shoot the other daughter again before they finally killed her.
