A Nevada girl, Mashenka Reid, 17, has been arrested on charges that include murder after she called the Reno Police and said she had fatally shot her father and younger brother because she “couldn’t control the urge to kill somebody”, as alleged by Court documents.

According to nbcnews.com:
A neighbor called police at around 4:11 p.m. and reported hearing gunshots, and then at around 4:14 p.m. a different person called police and said, “I shot my dad,” followed by “I shot my brother,” the document says.
The incident happened Friday afternoon, according to a probable cause statement filed in the case.
When asked why she shot the people, the caller said, “I just couldn’t control the urge to kill somebody,” as disclosed by the document.
Responding officers found the caller’s younger brother (around 4/5 years old) and father dead in the home, both with obvious gunshot wounds, the document says.
A bail hearing was scheduled this week.
