Sheriff's office spokeswoman Caitilin Espinosa had told People magazine that prior calls had involved a "mental crisis" related to Sheats.

I'd bet the mother was on psychotropic drugs, but that will never be addressed. It never is.

If that’s the case, should she have guns?

I tend to agree. Cops want a quick closure and no one ever does drug tests on the nuts like this. I’ll make a bet that she was on some type of prescription drug or pain-killer, and just had a ‘bad’ day.

I went to high school with some kid and his sister (she was four years older than him). Around five years ago, he would have been near 45...he was in the midst of a divorce episode with the wife.

The wife and daughter, along with the sister of this guy (and her son)...were all caught in a house by the guy, and shot dead. Zero drug tests done on the guy....cops just wanted the episode closed up.

I think if we established prescription drugs as one of the key factors in these episodes....we’d press for laws to eliminate the drugs from sales. No one really wants to discuss that talk though.

You are probably right.

Exactly. MSN gets too much money from big pharma.

There is the possibility she may have been on psychotropic meds and stopped taking them.

related to which Sheats?..mother?..father?...dtrs?...

I too bet she was on some powerful psycho drugs...she obviously went off her rocker....

I read a comment by a woman for whom the youngest babysat.
Said the Mom Sheats was bipolar, and off her med’s. I think it was in the Houston Chronicle.
