Latasha Thomas (23) called a relative twice on Monday-asking for a ride to get away from her abusive boyfriend.

She arrived at the couple's trailer in the Walt Lou Mobile Home Park too late to save her or her babies.

"Neighbors told her they heard gunshots about ten minutes before she got there," Sheriff Charles Jett said.

Officers forced their way inside and found Thomas and 24 year old Aaron Jackson--the children's father dead on the couch. Their kids-two year old Nicole Jackson--and her one year old brother Aaron--were in their cribs with critical gunshot wounds to the head. Investigators say Jackson killed his family and then himself.
