Christy Sheats chased her two daughters outside before shooting them in the street in their residential neighborhood, police and witnesses say.

Her husband, Jason Sheats, watched as she shot their daughters, Taylor and Madison, neighbor Fazz Zainuddin told KPRC-TV.

The neighbor told the news station he heard him say, Dont do this. Theyre our kids."

A witness told KTRK-TV Taylor and Madison tried to flee from the house, running out with their father. One of the daughters, Taylor, was already wounded, and collapsed on the street, the witness said. The witness, a neighbor, said he saw Christy Sheats come outside with a gun and then go back inside and reload. She came back outside and shot Madison in the back, the neighbor told the news station.

A police officer responding from nearby Fulshear, who was assisting the Fort Bend County Sheriffs Office, shot Christy Sheats while she held the gun used in the shooting, police said.

The cops were behind the trees and behind the cars, and they told the mom to put the gun down and obviously she did not, Zainuddin told KPRC. She walked towards the body, I think Madison, already on the ground and I guess the cop was afraid that she was going to shoot her again.

Christy Sheats and one of her daughters were pronounced dead at the scene, police said. Her other daughter was taken by a medical helicopter to a local hospital, where she later died.
