Tonya Thomas shot her four children 18 times before killing herself. She was also a victim of domestic abuse.

The shootings happened Tuesday, May 15, 2012 in Port St. John, near Cape Canaveral.

The children fled to a neighbor's house, but returned when Thomas came outside and called for them to return.

Authorities said she then fired the fatal rounds, smoked a cigarette and later killed herself.

Tonya Thomas used a Taurus .38-caliber revolver to shoot and kill her children.

There were 19 gunshot wounds found on the victims, including the self-inflicted wound found on Thomas' body.

One child was shot seven times while the youngest child was shot five times from more than two feet away. The revolver was fired against the chest of at least two children.

this was a sad case. mom raising 4 kids on her own. the oldest son started acting out violently - broke a window, pushed the mom. she had asked for assistance from law enforcement a couple of times. i think she just lost it. horribly tragic.

the neighbors could have saved at least two of those kids - they wouldn't let them in the house.

I don't know the history with the neighbors, maybe it was volatile- but omg, to have bloody children banging on your door. What the fuck is it with the cops taking so damn long in these calls?? Im sitting here, paused twice to pee, refil my drinks- I can imagine what you can do to a human being in that time......to save or to kill.
