Texas Teen Tells 911 It Was 'Weird' to Kill His Mother and Sister

In a chilling 911 call, Texas teen Jake Evans spent 20 minutes calmly recounting how he shot and killed his mother and sister, calling himself "evil."

"It's weird," an even-voiced Evans told the 911 dispatcher. "I wasn't even really angry with them. It just kind of happened. I've been kind of planning on killing for a while now."

"I guess this is really selfish to say, but to me, I felt like they were just suffocating me in a way," he said calmly. "I don't know.Obviously, you know, I'm pretty, I guess, evil."

He told the operator that he told his sister that his mother needed to see her. When his sister came out of her room, Evan said he shot her. She rolled down the stairs and he shot her again, he said.

I'm all for helping people up until the point of committing a violent crime.

After that, I don't believe rehabilitation is worth the trouble.

They just need to be locked away from society.

if the teachers or other students might have noticed a problem....but, then again, that could have turned into another school shooting

Very odd, sad story
