Experts: Circumstances of Florida family slayings 'really unusual'


This article is about four siblings that were shot by their mother. In this article it was saying that early that morning the four siblings were murder and investigators are still trying to determine what happened at the Port St. John home. These four kids mother name is Tonya Thomas and she is 33 years of age. And the kids that were murder: two boys and two girls, the boys name are 15 years of age Jaxs Johnson, 12 years of age Joel Johnson, and the girls name are 17 years of age Pebbles Johnson, 13 years of age Jazlin Johnson. According to the statement that day the children went to a neighbor’s house when the shooting started, with at least one reporting being shot, according of 911 calls released by the sheriff’s department Tuesday but they returned while neighbors were on the phone with deputies, and more shots followed. "The two kids were in the front yard, one banging on the front door, 'Help us! Help us!'" a neighbor told dispatchers. "There was so much confusion going on we couldn't tell who shot who, and then when I was talking to you the one kid said his mom shot him." 
The investigators don’t know a motive for the killing, said Lt Tod Goodyear, a spokesman for the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office. But he said neighbors have described a history of public argument among Thomas and her children, and Jaxs Johnson was arrested after a pair of fights with his mother in April. And during these fights according to the sheriff’s office, he knocked out a window with his bicycle during a fight and Thomas told deputies “she is attempting to get him into different programs to help with his issue. Also she stated that her son punches and kick her when she tried to wake him up for school, and then ran out the house. Even though people thinks she killed her children, the police reported circumstances are “really unusual”,” far different from typical cases involving either women or men.
