The firm grip of horror took hold of multiple Wyoming families after a mother shot her four daughters before turning the gun on herself.
Midafternoon on Monday, Tranyelle Harshman, 32, called 911 to report the gunshots she fired at her own home on East Shoshone Avenue in Byron — a tiny town located roughly 415 miles northwest of Cheyenne — and some 90 miles due south of Billings, Montana.
The woman went on to report that her daughters had been shot, according to a press release issued by the Big Horn County Sheriff’s Office.
“When dispatchers asked the status of the gunshot victims the female stated that she believed them to be deceased,” the sheriff’s office said.
