Neighbors of
Florida mom who killed her 4 kids turned the children away when they tried to
get help.
'You're not
coming in our house,' terrified neighbor tells Tonya Thomas' bleeding kids.
Authorities say Thomas,
33, shot and killed her four children before killing herself on Tuesday, May
15, 2012 in Port St. John, Fla. The children ranged in age from 12 to 17
Before a
crazed Florida mom allegedly killed her four children and shot herself Tuesday
morning, the wounded kids ran to the neighbors for help -- and were turned
away, 911 calls showed.
Thomas first
opened fire and wounded her children sometime around 5 a.m. , police said, and
three of them fled their mother’s home in terror.
The
recordings of the neighbors’ 911 calls, released by Brevard County Sheriff's
officials on Wednesday, captured the chaotic scene at the Port St. John
neighborhood as the kids tried desperately to get help, The Orlando Sentinel
reported.
"Get
back, you're not coming in our house," a horrified woman is heard saying
during a call recorded early Tuesday.
The
unidentified neighbors called police after hearing gunshots coming from next
door, followed by someone knocking on their door.

At first, the
female caller tells dispatchers that one of the children shot his mother.
"I knew
this was going to happen you guys," the woman cries, as the dispatcher
attempts to sort out what is happening.
"The
boy's in our front yard - get him a towel - he's got blood on his right
side."
"Get
away from the window," a man in the background is heard saying.
Later, the
flipped-out caller says the children told her husband their mother was the
shooter.
Amid, the
confusion, the woman's husband grabs the phone and tells the dispatcher he has
grabbed his gun.
"They
tried to break in our front door to get in, I guess to try to get away from her
- whoever's got the gun," he says.
"So I
grabbed my gun and ran outside and one's laying there bleeding at the front door."
The man then
says he thinks the bleeding child went back home.
"I don't
know who has the gun, so I'm not walking out there," the man says.
"I'm armed, but not going out there and putting myself in danger."
"Now
there's more gunshots!" the man reports.
Those shots
appear to be the sound of Thomas finishing off some of her four children -
before ultimately turning the gun on herself.
Brevard
County Sheriff's officials said Thomas, 33, called the children back to her
home, but they aren't sure why the children obeyed her.
Thomas, her
daughter, Jazlin Johnson, 13, and her two sons, Jaxs Johnson, 15, and Joel
Johnson, 12, were found shot to death inside the home after SWAT teams broke
down Thomas' back door.
Her other
daughter, Pebbles Johnson, 17, was discovered shot dead in the yard.
Authorities
said they don't have a motive for the killings.
Autopsy
results aren't expected for at least six weeks.
