Three young girls are dead and another is in serious condition after their mother shot them in the head and then turned the gun on herself in Wyoming, authorities said.
The mom called 911 on Monday afternoon to report that her four daughters had been shot in her home in Big Horn County, the local sheriff’s office said.
The woman — whom local media later identified as 32-year-old Tranyelle Harshman — told the dispatcher where the girls were located in the house before abruptly cutting the call.
When officers arrived, they discovered the girls with gunshot wounds to their heads, along with their mother, who had apparently turned the gun on herself.
Only one of the girls, a 7-year-old, survived. Her three sisters — a 9-year-old and two 2-year-olds born less than a year apart — were killed, according to
MTN News.
Harshman was found alive but later succumbed to her wounds.
Police are still investigating the circumstances behind the tragedy, but Harshman’s husband Cliff Harshman told
Cowboy State Daily that his wife had been receiving treatment for severe mental health issues, including PTSD and postpartum depression.
