Horrific 911 calls made from the frightened siblings shot dead by their crazed mother in Texas — as well as a neighbor who watched it happen — detail Taylor and Madison Sheats' final moments as they begged for their lives.
“Please don’t point the gun at us,” cried the victims, 17 and 22, who were shot dead by their mother, Christy Sheats, at their Katy home in the Houston suburbs.

The distraught sisters were heard in mostly unintelligible 911 calls released by Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday, capturing their desperate pleas during a doomed family meeting Friday.
First responders escort Jason Sheats away from his home after his daughters and wife were shot and killed.

"Please don't shoot," and "Don't do it," were among the cries heard.
The dispatcher repeatedly asked “Hello,” but the girls and their father, Jason Sheats, never responded.
Jason, the sole survivor of the kin killing, was heard trying to diffuse the deadly confrontation between him, his daughters, and their 42-year-old mother who was later shot dead by cops.
“I’ll promise you whatever you want,” he shouted.
His wife opened fire and chased her children and husband out of the chaotic home while brandishing her weapon, as detailed by a neighbour who also called 911 seeking an ambulance after seeing the victims — still alive — lying in the middle of the street.
He peeked out the window and described the shooter as a woman wearing a purple dress. He did not know his neighbors by name.
The unidentified man watched Jason tend to his wounded daughters as “the lady with a gun” stood over one of the victims. She then went back inside for more ammo, he said.

“She’s trying to shoot again,” the neighbor said, “But apparently she doesn’t have any more bullets.”
“She’s coming back again,” he added.
Although no gunshots were heard in the phone call, the neighbor groaned and said Sheats had fired another round at Madison, striking and killing the 17-year-old as she tried to flee.

After watching the violence unfold in the quiet neighborhood street before him, the unidentified caller shouted to his family members in Spanish to “lie down on the floor.”
The dispatcher urged him to communicate what he saw out of the window, but to stay safe.
He then heard more bullets and saw the apparent shooter lie down on the street alongside her daughters after shooting herself, he said.
Police have not confirmed the details of the neighbor's account.
His phone call lasted for about seven minutes before police arrived and confronted Sheats, who had a gun in her hand. She refused to drop the weapon and was killed.
Authorities later revealed police had been called to the home about a dozen times because of domestic dispute related to the mother’s mental health.
