Mom from a small town of Wyoming shot her four children, called 911, after which he shot herself – Cowboy State Daily

Byron – a local woman shot her four children – killing three – and then shot herself on Monday, says the Sheriff’s office of Big Horn counties in a statement that he quotes an audio for the woman’s own call 911.

The woman called 911 at 1:30 pm to announce that her four daughters were shot dead, a statement said in which the sheriff office was released on Tuesday. She told the dispatcher that she believes the girls are dead: two will be upstairs in their crib, and two will be down, or the ground level, in their shared bedroom, the statement applies.

The woman said she would be filmed and could be found in her bedroom upstairs by Byron, Wyoming, at home, the statement said.

The dispatcher tired of her and called on her to stay on line until they were able to arrive first reacting.

But the woman continued to say it was too late, the statement said.

“Many attempts to keep her on the line failed and the call was interrupted,” he adds.

While the sheriff’s office did not identify the victims by name, the family’s neighbors confirmed that the woman had trapped Harshman, who with her husband Cliff had four daughters. There is no indication in the report that Cliff was at home during firing.

While three of the four girls were confirmed dead, one of the children and Harshman received medical attention and their conditions were unknown as a time to publish.
