Please Don't Shoot: A Shocking True Crime Story

By Rod Kackley

Three angry women. Three loaded handguns. Do you think it will do any good to plead, "Please Don't Shoot?"

 

In three violent, murderous stories, you'll learn the answer was "no" for nine people who fell victim to the murderous rage of three women.

 

What was it that made them snap? 

 

In one case, a female murderer snuffs out the life of her ex-husband's new lover. Does right in front of their Christmas tree, with her twin daughters watching.

 

In another, a woman loses it and guns down her daughters on a suburban street simply because she wants to hurt her husband.

 

And in the third, a young woman just unloads on her co-workers.

 

What possible reason could there have been for this violence?

 

As you turn the pages of Please Don't Shoot: A Shocking True Crime Story, you'll see that sometimes there is no reason.

 

There's just an angry woman and a loaded handgun.

 

Please Don't Shoot A Shocking True Crime Story.

Please don't point that gun, please. I beg you, please put it away, Jason says to his wife, almost shouting to be heard over the screams of their daughters. I'm sorry. I promise you...whatever you want.

But, nothing he can promise will stop his wife, Christy Byrd Sheats. She has decided the best way, the only way, to get back at Jason, to get her measure of revenge, will be to kill their daughters in front of him.

They'd been fighting again. Hardly unusual for Christy and Jason. Their neighbors could tell many stories. 

This time the argument was about their daughters, well, one daughter, in particular, Taylor, the oldest.

Jason thought it was ridiculous that they would ground Taylor so that she could not see her fiancé. But Christy, who had been arguing with their girls again, stood firm. Taylor had to be punished. 

Jason pointed out her age, twenty-two, which makes her an adult. For Pete's sake, she will be married in three days. But Christy was not going to be swayed.

Jason was out of the house most of the day with one of his daughters. But he and Christy had been texting back and forth. 

When Jason returned to the family's home on Remson Hollow Lane, he found Christy sitting in the backyard. She said she wanted a family meeting.

Jason was sure she would tell the girls that he was breaking up their family because he wanted a divorce. 

All true. 

Jason wanted to divorce Christy. 

Their marriage had been crumbling for years. But why did it have to be like this, Jason wondered. Why couldn't Christy tell him what she had to say in the backyard, just the two of them? Why did the girls have to hear this?

Still, Jason and his daughters walked with Christy into their house. They went through the computer room and into the living room. The four all took
