Gun nut mom's rampage was to punish her husband

The recent double murder of her two daughters, by mentally ill gun-enthusiast Christy Sheats was evidently meant to punish her husband for their impending divorce.

Houston Chronicle:

The 45-year-old father told investigators his wife gunned down his two beloved daughters in front of him last week amid tensions that their rocky marriage was headed for divorce.

It was her choice, Jason Sheats said, that he survived the carnage last Friday.

"He felt Christy wanted him to suffer," Fort Bend County Sheriff Troy Nehls said Wednesday, after speaking with the distraught father. "Mr. Sheats stated Christy knew how much he loved Taylor and Madison and how much they loved him."
