Dear Christy Sheats,

When I first heard about that senseless crime you did, I was immediately angered. You shot and killed your two daughters. How could a mother harm her own children?

I heard you guys were arguing, nothing out of the ordinary for a mother and her daughters, but was using violence necessary? I know that you're a gun advocate, but cmon now.

My mom and I have our little arguments, but she would never think about laying a hand on me. What you did is disgusting and horrifying.

Your daughters were 17 and 22. Their lives had just begun, but they were tragically cut short. One was about to become a senior and high school while the other one was going to get married just THREE days before you killed them. I just can't wrap my head around why you would do such a thing.

I'm sitting here wondering what your thought process was when you decided to pull the trigger. Did you ever stop and think, what you were even doing? You were about to end the lives of your two girls, the ones you raised and watched grow up before your very eyes.

Your husband pleaded and begged you not to shoot them. Not only did you shoot and kill your daughters, but they were his, too. You should've realized that this would be affecting other people like your husband, their friends, and neighbors.

What you did absolutely broke his heart. This wasn't how he wanted his birthday to go.

I don't know why this tragedy is affecting me as much as it is, but I'm so upset about how a mother can go and shoot her two children.

One thing I know for sure is that two young, bright, girls' lives were cut short because of a senseless crime.
