Christy Sheats (left) 42, had murdered Madison Sheats (inset right) 17, and Taylor Sheats (inset left) 22, after calling a family meeting at their Fulshear home, west of Houston, Texas. 


Investigators say she had 'had ample time' to shoot Jason Sheats (right) during the horrific attack but had chosen to keep him alive. 'She accomplished what she set out to do, and that is to make him suffer,' Fort Bend County Sheriff Troy Nehls said during a news conference.
