TAYLOR, MI -- Seven-year-old Emma Watson Nowling was shot and killed by a family friend Thursday night after soccer practice at the Taylor Sportsplex.

She died at Children's Hospital in Detroit due to injuries sustained to the head, Taylor Police said.

Her mother, Sharon Elizabeth Watson, 37, was also shot. She is in serious, but stable condition at an area hospital, according to Taylor Police Chief Mary Sclabassi.

The man who is believed to have shot the two, Timothy Nelson Obeshaw, 57, fired rounds into the victims' vehicle and then turned the handgun on himself.

A 9 mm pistol recovered from the scene was registered to Obeshaw. He registered the weapon in his own name in September 2015 in the city of Belleville, where he at one point lived with Watson, the 7-year-old deceased, and the girl's father.

"It was a legal weapon," Sclabassi said,

Police confirmed Obeshaw also had a valid concealed pistol license.

He recently moved to a home in Taylor where he lived with at least one other individual.

Upon talking to family and friends of Obeshaw, police were told the man "believed that someone was trying to control him through mind control," Sclabassi said.

"He though someone was out to get him," she said in a Friday press conference. "Unfortunately, it appears as a result of his (instability) we now have a little girl who simply just wanted to go yesterday to play soccer, and never went home."

The initial investigation by Taylor police indicates that Obeshaw was a family friend to Watson, her daughter and the girl's father. He had lived on their property in Belleville.

Obeshaw had "taken" to the little girl, Sclabassi said. At Nowling's 6:30 p.m. soccer practice, witnesses saw the man interact with the girl. He was happy to see her, and she was happy to see him.

It was a happy interaction, police said, and Obeshaw had been at the girl's practices and games before.

When Nowling and her mother were leaving practice at around 8 p.m.

Shots rang out when Obeshaw "confronted Watson and her daughter at their vehicle."

He had driven separately.

Witnesses saw Obeshaw fire gunshots into Watson's vehicle, striking 7-year-old Nowling first, and then her mother.

He then shot and killed himself.

Police do not have a motive for the shootings aside from reported paranoia. Police have not found any criminal history, nor are they aware if Obeshaw has a history of mental illness, any official diagnosis or treatment.

Police said they have no reason to believe there was any sort of romantic involvement between Watson and Obeshaw.

Sclabassi said Friday that Watson is still undergoing procedures. She has been informed that her daughter died from the gunshot wounds.

The chief also said the shooting adds to an ongoing debate.

"Obviously if the persons close to this individual (Obeshaw) had perhaps taken the steps to make sure that he got the help he needed, he may not have been in the position to obtain the firearms that he had yesterday," she said. "It is unfortunate."

Sclabassi applauded first responders and the police who responded to the shooting.

"They did really well last night," she said.

Police do not believe Obeshaw targeted the Taylor Sportsplex, and said they're working to tie up any loose ends.

The case is contained, Sclabassi said.

Arrangements are being made for donations for Nowling and Watson's family. (1 image)

Ok, what is this about? Something isn't computing.

Get it now, Don? The guy was mentally unstable, that is, if you believe the press reports.

No, no, no. From the article, Willie was pretty quick to highlight the point:

Nothing to Willie's point at all. He wants all firearms owned by the federal government.

No, that would be way too much work for the feds...
But maybe the states could require that all firearms be registered, licensed & insured just like automobiles...
And you'd need current license tag & registration for the gun and a picture/license for the gun-owner.
The states can do all the work, and the Feds can maintain the computer to coordinate all the data. That would work much better.

How do these series of actions permit a free society while the People maintain "FORCE" about a tyrannical government?

“I ask, Sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people except for a few politicians.” – George Mason, co-author of the 2nd Amendment.

“A militia, when properly formed, are in fact the people themselves.” – Richard Henry Lee.

“And that the said Constitution be never construed to authorize Congress to infringe the just liberty of the Press, or the rights of Conscience; or to prevent the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens, from keeping their own arms.” – Samuel Adams.

“Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people’s liberty teeth and keystone under independence.” – George Washington

“Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands?” – Patrick Henry.

“The best we can hope for concerning the people at large is that they be properly armed.” – Alexander Hamilton.

“I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery.” – Thomas Jefferson.

“To disarm the people is the most effectual way to enslave them.” – George Mason.

“Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every country in Europe.” – Noah Webster.

“Americans have the right and advantage of being armed, unlike the people of other countries, whose leaders are afraid to trust them with arms.” – James Madison.

“Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” – Benjamin Franklin.

“A free people ought to be armed.” – George Washington.

“No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.” – Thomas Jefferson.

“The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere restrains evil interference – they deserve a place of honor with all that’s good.” – George Washington.

That was fine 200 years ago when everything west of Fort Pitt was unsettled wilderness and half-naked savages... and single-shot muzzle-loading flintlocks were state-of-the-art technology.

So OK... you can keep the same kind of firearms that the Founding Fathers owned...
Everything else gets confiscated.

If it wasn't flint locks it was bows if not bows it was swords if not swords it was knives.

Always some excuse. Truth is good men don't murder.

Bad men don't give a crap about laws.

So if you keep the good man from having a weapon only bad men will and then only bad things happen! Just like a shitcago! Good men are not allowed to have weapons and when they do they are prosecuted harshly and then put in prison with the same bad men he was trying to defend against. You progressive are crazy or lazy. Im not sure which but im leaning towards full out crazy because even a lazy man can learn!
