Boy shoots mother and 15 year old sister for no reason.

[Grimfrost]

I read this yesterday in the paper and it kind of struck me.
A 17 year old boy killed his own sister and mother with a gun, then called 911 to turn himself in.
What do you think should his punishment be?

*911 convo typed out for those who can't understand it wel*

911 Dispatch: Parker County 911, where is your emergency?

Jake Evans: Uh, my house.

911: What’s the emergency?

Evans: Uh, I just killed my mom and my sister.

911: What? How did you do that?

Evans: Uh, I shot them with a .22 revolver.

911: Are you sure they’re dead?

Evans: They’re dead.

911: Okay, I want you to stay on the phone with me. Are you alright?

Evans: Yeah, I’m alright. (The gun) is on the kitchen counter.

911: Jake, are you on any medication?

Evans: Uh, no. I’ve been going to the allergist, I’m on allergy medication. Other than Zyrtec and Advil and Pseudoephedrine, I don’t take anything else.

911: Is there any reason that you were so angry at your mother and your sister?

Evans: I don’t know. … It’s weird. I wasn’t even really angry with them. It just kind of happened. I’ve been kind of, uh, planning on, uh, killing for a while now.

911: The two of ‘em, or just anybody?

Evans: Pretty much anybody.

911: Why?

Evans: I don’t know. I don’t really like, uh, people’s, uh, attitude. … I think it’s kind of, very, like, you know, emotional. They’re verbally rude to each other and stuff like that. I don’t know. It’s just my family is just kind of really I guess this is really selfish to say, but I felt they were just suffocating me in a way. I don’t know, I’m pretty, I guess, evil…Whatever, I’m sorry.

911: Were your mom and sister in their beds?

Evans: I don’t know. This is going to really mess me up in the future. I told my sister that my mom needed her. She was in her room, and she came out of her room, and I shot her. And she rolled down the stairs and I shot her again. And then I went down and I shot my mom maybe three or four times, but I’ll never forget this. My sister, she came downstairs and she was screaming and I was telling her that I’m sorry but just to hold still – that, you know, I was just going to make it go away. But she kept on freaking out, but she finally fell down and I shot her in the head about, probably, three or four times.

911: Are you in the kitchen?

Evans: Yes.

911: Where’s your dad?

Evans: He’s out of town. Washington, D.C. And, uh, I guess for future reference, I don’t really want to see any of my family members, like visiting or whatever. I just don’t want any type of visitors.

911: You don’t want to hurt yourself, do you?

Evans: Just to let you know, I hate the feeling of killing someone. (Sighs) I’m going to be messed up.

911: You just take a deep breath. We have deputies coming, and they’re going to help you. Just to let you know, we’re going to help you, we’re not going to hurt you.

Evans: I understand if ya’ll want to.

911: No, we’re there to help you, Jake. Everybody thinks we want to do bad things, but right or wrong, we want to help people, and we’re gonna help you. Do you understand that, Jake?

Evans: Yes.

911: Is it a gated community? Is there a gate?

Evans: Uh, yes. You want the password? (He gives her the password)

911: It’s going to be alright, it really is. They’ll be there shortly, won’t be long now. Jake, would you mind turning any of the porch lights on?

Evans: I have turned the front lights on. (pauses) I was thinking of my sister. She was 15.

911: How long ago did (the shootings) happen?

Evans: About, uh, 30 minutes ago. (breathes heavily)

911: You’ll be alright, Jake.

Evans: I’m really worried about, like, nightmares and stuff like that. Are there any times of medications, and stuff?

911: Well, I think there is. I don’t know, I’m not a doctor but … I’m sure your family will get you the support you need.

Evans: I don’t mean to sound like a wimp or anything, but this is, wow, I’ve never, like, done anything violent in my whole life.

911: You don’t sound like a violent person. But um, help will be provided for you. Medical and psychological. That will be provided, so you don’t have to worry about that right now. Take deep breaths for me now, you’re doing fine. In through your nose, and out through your mouth so you don’t hyperventilate, okay?

Evans: (breathing)

911: Good, you sound a lot calmer right now.

Evans: I didn’t want them to feel pain, that’s why I used a gun, but it’s like everything went wrong.

911: Jake, my officers are almost there, would you be willing to walk out on your own?

Evans: Um, yes, I forgot to say before I called, I put the gun on the counter, it’s still loaded.

911: Okay, that’s fine. I’ll stay on the phone until it’s time for you to walk out. Are you on your home phone? Is it cordless?

Evans: Yes.

911: Jake, what I want you do to is walk outside, but when you’re walking outside, stay visible, don’t walk behind any furniture. When you open the front door, put your hands up in the air, just walk very slowly, and walk outside, and keep your hands visible, alright, sweetie? I’ll talk to you later.

Evans: Thank you (puts phone down)

911: You’re welcome.

Kudos to the 911, what patience.

Mow him down as soon as he shows his face. Society doesn't need freaks like that.

[Dakia]

Holy crap that is messed up. The cold nature of his responses is just disturbing.

[Deleted]

Well he seemed...sane. to some degree. But there's definetly something wrong in his head if he doesn't feel anything after killing his family, and had also planned it for some time.. maybe he's got that condition when you have no feelings whatsoever? I don't think being a psychopath is the right word..
IMO, put him in a mental facility for a couple of years. It's just as hard as prison for those interested, where they use a special shirt to bind your hands and then put you in a padded room. He'll need years and years of therapy before he can enter society again. And those years will probably be just as tough as prison.

And i feel really bad for the father, can you imagine coming home to that? :/

[Maxilian]

Well... he's....... a kind person.... i think..., i'm not sure, well..., i understand him, why? well sometimes you feel that your family is pressing you and you feel suffocated and it makes you do things that in the moment you're like "Oks... i don't really care" but when you're done, you're like "WTF have i done?!"

[MrWiggles]

exicution, he knew it was wrong, doesn't seem to be showing remorse. deputies should have just shot him as he walked out

[Lefrog]

All I could think about when reading that is how much balls that 911 woman had. She did a wonderful job.

[Shadowbane]

The guy is quite clearly confused about one thing or another. He should get the sentence anyone should deserve in the US for the murder of two people, whatever that might be. But he's in need of some psychological assessment.

Killing people is definitely no joke though. Overreaction, whatever it was.

Looks like MMO-Champions have some resident sociopaths in their midsts as well.

[Velthy]

Thats pretty fucked up stuff :/

Well everyone have they own form to see things..., and no i don't think the same way he do...

[Reeve]

That's possibly the most disturbing transcript I've ever seen. Kid's gonna be institutionalized the rest of his life.

[Deleted]

That's messed up, how he's so calm is quite scary considering he's just show his mum and sister. What the hell is the dad going to do now? his so just shot his wife and daughter how fucked up is that.

[Kuniku]

brilliant work from the 911 operator there IMO, its scary how cold he was . . .

It's not so much that he was cold. It's that he was only concerned with how this would affect him, and had no concern whatsoever for his mother, sister, or the rest of the family. That's as psychopathic as you can get.

[Xanjori]

Thats messed up, not sure what it takes for someone to just want to do that. I guess he is gonna be doped up for the rest of his life on some or other form of medication.

And yeah kudos to the 911 operator for handling the situation so well imo.

[Dezerte]

Very creepy reading that, he sounds very messed up in the head.

Punishment? How about rehabilitation. I don't believe in retributive justice, I believe in restorative justice.

[DEATHETERNAL]

Give him a one hour trial with this 911 tape played along with any other physical evidence that he did it, find him guilty, and then execute him ASAP. He is a murderer and from that conversation, he can never be trusted to not continue being a murderer if some insane person wants to set him free.

A person calling the USA a fascist nation, is a talking like a fascist, I love the internet.

I don't know what made him kill his sister and his mother, he did it willingly so I can guess he's going to get atleast 10 years to 15 years? There isn't much info on why he did it so I don't know what kind of punishement he should have. Also I think he should have psychiatric help instead of going to jail?

And the 991 operator was a very nice person, she/he did a good job on not scaring him off or anything like that.
