A teenage girl allegedly shot dead her dad and young brother, then called 911 on herself --- telling the Nevada dispatcher, "I just couldn't resist the urge to kill somebody," according to court filings.
Mashenka Reid, 17, was arrested Friday afternoon after police found her dad and brother --- described as a 4- or 5-year-old boy --- dead from gunshot wounds in the family's Reno apartment, according to the Reno Gazette-Journal.
Reid's younger sister was also home --- but survived by hiding inside a locked bedroom, which a police officer had to kick in to take her to safety.
The first 911 call about the carnage came from a neighbor reporting gunshots and screams for help.
Then Reid herself dialed 911 and allegedly confessed to killing her family members, according to an affidavit filed in Reno Justice Court obtained by the paper.
"I shot my dad. I shot my brother. My brother is dead," she told the emergency operator, the document said.
"I just couldn't resist the urge to kill somebody," she allegedly said.
Reid also said she dropped the suspected murder weapon, a Walther PPS, inside the apartment.
The first officer on the scene detained the teenager and placed her on the floor, before going to check on the welfare of other family members.
Reid's brother was found lying on the couch with a gunshot wound to the head, the affidavit stated.
The teen's father was discovered in the garage with gunshot wounds to his chest and back. Paramedics pronounced both victims dead on the spot. As of Tuesday, they have not been publicly identified.
There was no word from the authorities on a possible motive for the double homicide.
Reid has been charged as an adult with two counts of open murder and an additional count of attempted murder with a deadly weapon. She is due in court for a bail hearing on Thursday.

You're a computer systems engineer? Wow! Have you publicly called out the CEO of Intel for the untrustability of their encryption blackbox silicon? Have you explained at an ELI5 level the feasibility and utility of peer-to-peer communications network routing? How about explaining fast fourier transforms to a college kid? These are just the things in computer science I've been gilded for. That doesn't count the parts where I picked up the comment of an actual climate scientist that demolishes every single claim made in your oldest gilded comment. Or the two years worth of reddit gold other people gifted me just for being the flagbearer of that comment. That doesn't cover where I kneecapped a transphobe's Loaded Question in an AMA in /r/science. Oh, and then there was the one where I explained morphological diversity and the evolutionary basis of intelligence in Aves and Mammalia.
And those are just the gilded comments.
That doesn't cover the comments where I haven't been gilded, like when I shredded the methodology of a trash poll conducted to produce misleading public support figures on the question of whether trans people ahould be allowed to use a restroom.
The thing is, that once someone has been a scientist, they never stop being a scientist. They never stop thinking rationally and critically. They tear apart obvious bullshit with ease after years of doing peer review with actual scientists, after working with their advisors and departments to produce a worthwhile and defensible doctoral thesis, even.
