Gayle Muhs And Sheila Muhs

These two beauties are Gayle and Sheila Muhs. Gayle, 45, and Sheila, 45, are VERY protective of their privacy. They put up a sign in front of their property in Liberty County, Texas that reads Trespassers will be shot. Survivers (sic) will be reshot!! Smile I will.” They mean it, too - They once took a shot at their next door neighbor.
Nice people, the Muhs.
The Coffeys are nice people too. Donald, 36, his wife Becky, and their two children Donald Jr., 7, and Destiny, 5, are described by their neighbors as nice, simple country folk who never bothered anybody and were always there to lend a helping hand. They enjoyed taking their vehicles off road in the woods near their Westlake, TX subdivision.
Friday night, were at the end of a daylong excursion on off-road vehicles through wooded paths along the Trinity River. Donald Coffey Drove a Jeep with his son Donald Jr., a family friend, Patrick Cammack, and Cammacks son. Patrick Cammacks wife, Cindy Nelton, drove an SUV along with Becky and Destiny Coffey. An unidentified 11-year-old boy was also with the group.
Around 9:00PM the men stopped to use the bathroom and got out of the Jeep near the Muhses’ home when a woman’s voice boomed through the darkness, Nelton said. Sheila Muhs cussed out the group and told them to get off their property, even though they were on a public road. A shot rang out immediately afterwards as Sheila opened up on them with a 12 gauge shotgun.
“And then I heard a shot and our windows were blown out,” Nelton said.
Nelton, who never saw a shooter, said she immediately stomped on the gas and screamed, “We’ve got kids in this vehicle! Y’all need to stop shooting!”
A second shot, and possibly others, came as Sheila Muhs handed the shotgun to her husband Gayle. Nelton said she sped to safety near a bridge, unaware of the Jeep’s location.
Becky Coffey opened the door to the SUV to go look for her husband and son. When the inside light came on, Destiny was in the back seat screaming.
“She said, ‘Mama, they shot me. Mommy, they shot me.’ There was blood all over her,” Nelton said.
Nelton rushed the girl to a nearby fire station while Becky Coffey frantically searched on foot for her other family members. The victims were taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital via air ambulance.
Meanwhile, Sheila Muhs had called 911. Bishop said the woman told a dispatcher: “They’re running over our levee in big-wheel vehicles, and I shot them.” FYI, The Levee belongs to the Westlake subdivision, not the Muhses. Neither does the road that the victims were shot on.
Donald Coffey Jr. was shot in the head and face, and died at the hospital Sunday afternoon. Destiny Coffey and her father, Donald Sr., who were both hit in the shoulder by shotgun pellets, were treated and released.
The Muhses are charged with aggravated assault and are being held in the Liberty County Jail in lieu of $25,000 bail each. The couple is expected to appear in state district court in the coming week.
Authorities are expected to upgrade the charge to capital murder, Liberty County Sheriff’s Cpl. Hugh Bishop said.
Liberty County Sheriffs Department Chief Deputy Ken DeFoor told reporters that the shooting was the most violent reaction to something so blatantly, blatantly minor hes ever seen. He said the families in the two cars had done nothing illegal and they never set foot on the Muhs property.
I almost forgot to thank Electra for tipping me off to this story. This is the kind of thing that really get my blood boiling - theres nothing worse than people who are so selfish and self centered that theyve lost all compassion for others. I wonder if they realize the gravity of what theyve done, or if they even care. Somehow I have the feeling that if Gayle and Sheila Muhls are upset, its because theyre sitting in a jail cell for shooting some damned trespassers.
