A double homicide suspect allegedly called 911 on herself and told the dispatcher, “I just couldn’t resist the urge to kill somebody.”
Officers found 17-year-old Mashenka Reid’s dad and younger brother dead late Friday afternoon in their Reno, Nevada, home, according to the Reno Gazette-Journal, which cited court documents.
Her mom and sister hid in a locked bedroom and were rescued by police.
“I shot my dad. I shot my brother. My brother is dead,” Reid allegedly told the 911 dispatcher, according to the probable cause affidavit filed in Reno Justice Court.
