Mother Shoots Kids & Kills Herself After Being Denied Food Stamps In Texas! (Daughter Updates Facebook Status To "May Die 2Day" Before Being Shot)

"Two children are fighting for their lives after
their mother shot them this week before killing
herself during a standoff at a South Texas welfare
office.

Authorities said Tuesday that 12-year-old Ramie
Grimmer and her 10-year-old brother, Timothy, were
in "very critical" condition at University
Hospital in San Antonio. Their 38-year-old mother
Rachelle pulled out a gun in a state welfare
office and staged a seven-hour standoff after she
wasn't able to qualify for food stamps.

The shooting took place at a Texas Department of
Health and Human Services building in Laredo,
where police said about 25 people were inside at
the time. During the standoff, Rachelle Grimmer
allegedly told police negotiators a litany of
complaints against state and federal government
agencies

The woman first applied for food stamps in July
but was denied because she didn't turn in enough
information, Texas Department of Health and Human
Services spokeswoman Stephanie Goodman said.
Goodman didn't know what Grimmer specifically
failed to provide. In addition to completing an
18-page application, families seeking state
benefits also must provide documents proving their
information, such as proof of employment and
residency." - 8 News
