A 17-year-old girl turned herself in to police Friday after she allegedly killed her father and younger brother, according to court documents obtained by the Reno Gazette Journal.
Mashenka Reid from Reno, Nevada, called 911 and told them, “I couldn’t control the urge to kill somebody,” court documents said, the outlet reported. A neighbor reportedly also called 911 after hearing gunshots from an apartment nearby.
“I shot my dad. I shot my brother. My brother is dead,” Reid told the 911 dispatcher, according to an affidavit obtained by the Reno Gazette Journal.
The dispatcher asked Reid if either was still breathing, but Reid said she did not know, the court documents read, Reno Gazette Journal reported. Reid reportedly told the dispatcher she dropped the gun inside the house.
Police arrived on the scene at around 4:15 p.m. Friday and found “an approximately 4 or 5-year-old male juvenile lying on a couch in the living room,” with a head wound seemingly from a gunshot, the Reno Gazette Journal reported, citing court docs.
