PORT ST. JOHN, Fla. (AP) - A Florida mother who fatally shot her four
children before killing herself Tuesday called three of the kids who
had sought help from a neighbor back to the house before firing the
fatal shots, authorities said.
Tonya Thomas, 33, fatally shot her four children, who ranged in age
from 12 to 17, said Lt. Tod Goodyear, a spokesman for the Brevard County
Sheriff's Office.
Three of the children had gone to a neighbor's front door before dawn
to say their mother had shot them. The mother then called the children
back to the house and killed them, Goodyear said.
"From what the neighbors said, she was very calm. She walked out and
called them back. They turned around and walked back to the house,"
Goodyear said.

ReplyDeleteHard to find a good woman.
ReplyDeleteGuess it is hard to know how what you would do but I don't understand just letting bleeding scared kids claiming they were shot by their mother go back into the house with her. Sigh. Very sad.
