A double homicide suspect allegedly called 911 on herself and told the dispatcher, “I just couldn’t resist the urge to kill somebody.”

Officers found 17-year-old Mashenka Reid’s dad and younger brother dead late Friday afternoon in their Reno, Nevada, home, according to the Reno Gazette-Journal, which cited court documents.

Her mom and sister hid in a locked bedroom and were rescued by police. 

“I shot my dad. I shot my brother. My brother is dead,” Reid allegedly told the 911 dispatcher, according to the probable cause affidavit filed in Reno Justice Court.

Neighbors around the Silver Sky Parkway home also called 911 and reported arguing and gunshots, according to the Reno Gazette-Journal. 

Her brother, “approximately a 4- or 5-year-old juvenile,” was shot in the head and “lying on a couch in the living room,” according to court documents obtained by the local newspaper.
