Julie Schenecker, wife of an US Army official Parker Schenecker, has killed her teenage son and daughter for unknown reasons.
The daughter Calyx Schenecker was aged 16 and son Beau Schenecker was aged 13 year old when the incident happened.
Its disturbing to know when you are not safe even at your mother’s end. For centuries since creation, man has always believed in his mother for protection next to God. When such incidents occur, it questions one’s faith whether to believe in their own blood or not.
How the Incident happened?
According to Huffington post, An arrest affidavit said Julie Schenecker shot her son twice in the head in the family car “for talking back” as she drove him to soccer practice. The report said Schenecker then drove to their upscale home and shot her daughter in the face inside the home.
It is reported that the crime scene was so horrible and mentally disturbing that the police present on-spot had to undergo counseling themselves.
Investigators believe the teens “never saw it coming,” said police spokeswoman Laura McElroy. Both were killed with a .38-caliber pistol. The arrest affidavit said the weapon was purchased five days earlier.
Neighbor’s Reaction
Neighbor Charanun Soodjinda said the Scheneckers “fit right in” when they arrived. The couple’s two children often played in the cul-de-sac with other neighborhood kids, and Julie Schenecker seemed to be at home a lot.
“They seemed like a nice family,” said Soodjinda, 38. “I never thought this would happen. How could you do that to your children?”
Che, this is annoying in my view, one bad decision by the mother has shattered the dreams of the father, destroyed the life of the children and the livelihood of the family is over.
If people really couldn’t control anger and/or disappointed with their life style, why couldn’t they just consult a doctor on this regard. If Julie Schenecker had done so, today she might have been with her family smiling and playing with kids!!!
Mother Kills Son And Daughter For Being ‘Mouthy’
TAMPA, Fla. — The woman who authorities say killed her teenage daughter and son because she was fed up with them talking back and being mouthy will not appear in court Saturday because she’s being treated at a hospital for an unknown condition.
Authorities say Julie Powers Schenecker was taken to Tampa General Hospital shortly after midnight Saturday to be treated for a medical condition that existed before she was taken to jail. Hillsborough Sheriff’s deputies – who oversee jail inmates – said they could not reveal Schenecker’s medical condition, citing health care privacy laws.
An arrest affidavit said Schenecker shot her son twice in the head in the family car “for talking back” as she drove him to soccer practice. The report said Schenecker then drove to their upscale home and shot her daughter in the face inside the home.
Schenecker’s mother called police Friday morning, and told them she was concerned after her daughter had sent an e-mail saying she was depressed. Officers found Schenecker drenched in blood on her back porch – and once they saw the teens, the scene was so troubling that a stress team was called to counsel the responding officers, a police spokeswoman said.
Calyx, the girl, was 16 and a cross country running star at her high school. The 13-year-old son, Beau, was in eighth grade.
Investigators believe the teens “never saw it coming,” said police spokeswoman Laura McElroy. Both were killed with a .38-caliber pistol. The arrest affidavit said the weapon was purchased five days earlier.
Schenecker’s husband, Parker Schenecker, is a career Army officer attached to U.S. Central Command in Tampa. He was working in the Middle East when the shootings happened.
In 2008, the family moved to Tampa and bought a $448,000 home in a quiet, upscale suburban neighborhood. As the sun set Friday evening, residents walked by crime scene tape that sealed off the cul-de-sac that the Schenecker family lived on.
