'planning on killing for a while'
- Jake Evans, 17, called 911 operator to calmly say he shot dead mother and sister at their home in gated community
- Said that he was thinking about killing 'pretty much anybody' for 'a while'
- Told dispatcher that he was only on over-the-counter allergy medication but asked if there was pill that could stop his nightmares

Confessed: Jake Evans, 17, told a 911 dispatcher that he shot dead his mother and sister; he is charged with capital murder
A 17-year-old student phoned a 911
operator early Friday morning and calmly told her over the next 20
minutes how he shot dead his mother and sister.
Jake
Evans called the emergency number at around 12:30am to explain that he
used a .22-calibre revolver to kill his 48-year-old mother, Jamie Evans,
and his 15-year-old sister, Mallory, in their home within an exclusive
gated community.
When the
shocked dispatcher asked why he killed them, the home-schooled teenager
said smoothly: ‘I don’t know…it’s weird. I wasn’t even really angry with
them. It just kind of happened. I’ve been kind of planning on killing
for a while now.’
Evans placed the call from his family’s upscale home in a gated community within Aledo, Texas, outside of Fort Worth.
According to the Dallas Morning News, Evans was matter-of-fact as he answered the dispatcher’s many questions.
The
dispatcher asked what his emergency was, to which the teenager
responded: 'I just killed my mom and sister,' then adding that he shot
them with the .22-calibre revolver.
When
asked if he was planning to kill his mother and sister or anyone in
general, he responded that he was thinking about killing ‘pretty much
anybody.’

Horrific: Jake, right, told the 911 operator
that he shot dead his 15-year-old sister, Mallory, left, as she left her
room, and continued shooting her as she fell down the stairs
High-end: The family lived in this expansive $480,000 home within a gated community
He continued: ‘I don’t really like people’s attitude (sic). They’re…verbally rude to each other and stuff like that.’
Evans
went on to describe the alleged double murder in grim detail: ‘This is
going to mess me up in the future… I told my sister that my mom needed
her.
Teacher: His mother Jamie Evans, 48, who worked as an assistant principal for 15 years, was also killed
'She was in her room, and she came out of her room, and I shot her. And she rolled down the stairs and I shot her again.
'And then I went down(stairs) and I shot my mom maybe three or four times.’
He
later told the dispatcher: ‘I didn’t want them to feel any pain. That’s
why I used a gun, but it was like everything went wrong.’
The teenager concluded: ‘Obviously, I am pretty, I guess, evil...whatever.’
The dispatcher kept him on the phone for around 20 minutes, until the Parker County sheriff’s deputies could arrive.
He was arrested at his home
and taken into custody, and was later charged with capital murder.
Police said he was waiting outside the $480,000 house with his hands
above his head.
The 17-year-old was denied bond, according to NBC Dallas-Fort Worth.
Aledo
Independent School District Superintendent Stan Manning told KHOU in
Houston that both Jake and Mallory withdrew from their respective
schools to be home schooled.
Jake abruptly withdrew from Aledo High School at the beginning of the year, and Mallory began home schooling in January of 2010.
His
mother Jamie had worked for the district for years and served as an
assistant principal and first grade teacher until she left in 2004.
According to NBC DFW, Evans’ father was in Washington, D.C. on business. Sheriff Larry Fowler told KHOU that the family’s two other daughters no longer live at the house.
Big brother: Jake, 17, and Mallory, 15, were both home schooled by their mother, who once taught elementary school
Family ties: Jamie Evans, left, and Mallory,
centre right, were both killed; the two other daughters and Jamie's
husband were not in the house at the time of the murders
Another sister was supposed to come home from college to visit this weekend.
According
to the 911 transcript, Evans asked the dispatcher if there were any
medications he could take to prevent nightmares. ‘I don’t mean to sound
like a wimp or anything,’ he said, ‘but this is – wow, I’ve never done
anything violent in my whole life, you know.’
'I didn't want them to feel any pain. That's why I used a gun, but it was like everything went wrong.'
The dispatcher told him that while she wasn’t a doctor, ‘I’m sure your family will get you the support you need.’
He
also said that the only medication he was taking was an
over-the-counter allergy medication. Evans also confessed that he took
the gun from his grandfather’s house across the street.
His grandfather had been a member of the Fort Worth police force for nearly three decades.
Mr Fowler told MyFoxDFW that the teenager reloaded the weapon at least once during the shooting.
One
neighbour who asked that her name be withheld told the Dallas Morning
News that the family were devout Christians and were always very kind.
Jake Evans was described as a quiet teenager who stayed out of trouble.

It’s just my family is just kind of really I guess this is really selfish to say, but I felt they were just suffocating me in a way. I don’t know, I’m pretty, I guess, evil…Whatever, I’m sorry.
911: Were your mom and sister in their beds?
Evans: I don’t know. This is going to really mess me up in the future. I told my sister that my mom needed her. She was in her room, and she came out of her room, and I shot her. And she rolled down the stairs and I shot her again. And then I went down and I shot my mom maybe three or four times, but I’ll never forget this. My sister, she came downstairs and she was screaming and I was telling her that I’m sorry but just to hold still – that, you know, I was just going to make it go away. But she kept on freaking out, but she finally fell down and I shot her in the head about, probably, three or four times.
911: Are you in the kitchen?
Evans: Yes.
911: Where’s your dad?
Evans: He’s out of town. Washington, D.C. And, uh, I guess for future reference, I don’t really want to see any of my family members, like visiting or whatever. I just don’t want any type of visitors.
911: You don’t want to hurt yourself, do you?
Evans: Just to let you know, I hate the feeling of killing someone. (Sighs) I’m going to be messed up.
911: You just take a deep breath. We have deputies coming, and they’re going to help you. Just to let you know, we’re going to help you, we’re not going to hurt you.
Evans: I understand if ya’ll want to.
911: No, we’re there to help you, Jake. Everybody thinks we want to do bad things, but right or wrong, we want to help people, and we’re gonna help you. Do you understand that, Jake?
Evans: Yes.
911: Is it a gated community? Is there a gate?
Evans: Uh, yes. You want the password? (He gives her the password)

Evans: I have turned the front lights on. (pauses) I was thinking of my sister. She was 15.

Evans: About, uh, 30 minutes ago. (breathes heavily)

Evans: I’m really worried about, like, nightmares and stuff like that. Are there any times of medications, and stuff?
911: Well, I think there is. I don’t know, I’m not a doctor but … I’m sure your family will get you the support you need.
Evans: I don’t mean to sound like a wimp or anything, but this is, wow, I’ve never, like, done anything violent in my whole life.
911: You don’t sound like a violent person. But um, help will be provided for you. Medical and psychological. That will be provided, so you don’t have to worry about that right now. Take deep breaths for me now, you’re doing fine. In through your nose, and out through your mouth so you don’t hyperventilate, okay?
Evans: (breathing)
911: Good, you sound a lot calmer right now.
Evans: I didn’t want them to feel pain, that’s why I used a gun, but it’s like everything went wrong.
911: Jake, my officers are almost there, would you be willing to walk out on your own?
Evans: Um, yes, I forgot to say before I called, I put the gun on the counter, it’s still loaded.
911: Okay, that’s fine. I’ll stay on the phone until it’s time for you to walk out. Are you on your home phone? Is it cordless?
Evans: Yes.
911: Jake, what I want you do to is walk outside, but when you’re walking outside, stay visible, don’t walk behind any furniture. When you open the front door, put your hands up in the air, just walk very slowly, and walk outside, and keep your hands visible, alright, sweetie? I’ll talk to you later.
