Family: Dad Shoots Twin Babies to Death in Mom's Arms, Critically Injures Her, Kills Her Father
Yahoo News ^ | November 19, 2015 | Deborah Hastings

A mother lies hospitalized in critical condition after the father of her twin baby girls shot them to death in her arms, and then killed the woman’s dad, according to her family.

Ultimately, Gawain Rushane Wilson turned the weapon on himself and died at the scene, authorities said.

The carnage took place in the Jacksonville, Florida, home of Travis Hiatt, the twin’s grandfather. His daughter, Megan, and her five-month-old girls Hayden and Kayden, had been living with him, authorities said, according to local reports.

Wilson allegedly entered the home and forced his estranged girlfriend to pick up the babies.

“He wanted to destroy her world,” the woman’s mother, Melissa Bateh, told First Coast News about last week’s devastation. “He wanted her to watch it be destroyed.”

Bateh said her 22-year-old daughter told her, “Mama, he killed them. He killed them in my arms. He made me hold them when he killed them. He made me watch.”

Jacksonville Sheriff’s deputies declined comment when reached by INSIDE EDITION Thursday evening.

Bateh said her daughter had to crawl through her infants’ blood to reach her father, who was dying on the floor. “He wanted her to tell her brother that he was the best son ever and he loved him.”

The mother said she had misgivings about her daughter’s relationship with Wilson, who she described as threatening and controlling.

This slimeball was a BLM maggot farmer. The actions he took killed two babies who were as black as Obama.

Thanks. Her knowing he was a thug does not reduce the deserved punishment he should receive.

You takes your chances when you mix race, culture and class.

Sorry for all involved but the girl’s Mom was right in questioning her daughter’s choice in a mate. Notice I didn’t say “husband or spouse.”

Love is blind, too bad she couldn’t see the thug in this case.

It was just an understandable response to white racism.
