‘My Children Are Trying To Kill Me’: Frantic 911 Call From Georgia Mother Released
Police have released the frantic 911 call made by a Georgia mother as her two sons were allegedly trying to kill their parents early Saturday morning.
Yvonne Ervin, 50, called 911 to report that she and her husband were being attacked in their Georgia home.
“Please send someone to my house. My children are trying to kill me.”
According to CNN, the terrified Georgia mother told the dispatcher that her two sons, Chistopher, 22, and Cameron, 17, had attacked her and her husband after drugging them with Xanax.
“I heard them saying that they put Xanax in our drink. That’s why we were so sleepy; we didn’t understand why we were so sleepy, but that’s why.”
The dispatcher asked the terrified Georgia mother how she knew it was Xanax.
“Because that’s what they said after they started attacking us. That’s what they said,” the frightened Georgia mother cried.
According to ABC News, the two Georgia boys Xanax in their parents’ food and believed that they were asleep. When they woke up, the two Georgia boys strangled their parents and tried to shoot them.
“They’re trying to strangle us and shoot us. They beat me up, they beat [my husband] up. They’re trying to kill us. Please hurry.”
“We have a shotgun and a pistol in the house, and I can’t find my pistol so I’m assuming they’ve taken it and they have the shotgun,” Yvonne told the Georgia dispatcher.
Gwinnett County Police Sgt. Rich Long told CNN that it was the brave Georgia parents’ quick thinking that might have saved their lives. According to People, the father, Zachary Irving, had made his way to the garage and distracted the Georgia boys long enough for Yvonne to call 911.
According to KTLA, the Georgia mother soon after told the dispatcher that her sons were climbing up the stairs.
Yvonne was heard crying out, “The police are on their way. The police are on their way.”
Then all communication with the Georgia dispatcher ended.
When police arrived at Georgia home, Zachary came out of the garage and collapsed.
“He had a lot of head and body injuries from blunt force trauma and stab wounds on his back,” said Long, according to CNN.
Cameron exited the house and was detained. When police entered the Georgia home, they “immediately noticed a large amount of blood on the floor,” according to the incident report.
Officers found the Georgia home in disarray, and they discovered a shotgun in the basement covered in blood. It was the only weapon found in the Georgia home.
The Georgia mother was discovered lying next to her bed. She suffered “blunt force trauma, but not as severe as the father,” Long told CNN.
Christopher was found lying face down in a bathroom upstairs, unresponsive. It is believed that he suffered injuries while Zachary fought him for the shotgun, according to KTLA 5. Both of the Georgia sons were immediately arrested.
Police said the brutal attack on the Georgia parents could have been much worse. According to Long, the boys had “introduced natural gas into the house” and were planning on burning the Georgia home down.
The Georgia sons have both been charged with two counts of felony aggravated assault and two felony counts of first degree arson. Under Georgia law, they will both be tried as adults.
“There is no official motive at this point, but there has to be something more to this. I’m sure they didn’t just wake up and decide to kill their parents yesterday.”
Yvonne has been released from a Georgia hospital and Zachary is still being treated for his injuries, according to ABC News.
During the 911 call, the dispatcher had asked the Georgia mother what she thought her son’s motive for the attack may have been. The Georgia mother said she did not know, and that perhaps the boys were doing it for insurance money.
