The mom, from Wyoming, opened fire on her four children before calling the cops to say she was going to shoot herself, according to the Big Horn County Sheriff’s Office.
Her dead daughters were aged just two, two, and nine years old.
A seven-year-old, named as Olivia, was found alive but was rushed to a hospital in Salt Lake City for immediate care, according to KTVQ.
Olivia is fighting for her life after she suffered a “severe traumatic brain injury”.
The mom told emergency services that two of her daughters were in their cribs and the other two were in their bedrooms downstairs.
She also reportedly told cops they would find her dead in the upstairs bedroom.
The alarm was also raised after reports of gunshots at the property, in Byron, were made.
Police said: “The dispatcher pleaded with the female caller over the phone for the female caller to remain on the line until responding suits arrived.
“The female caller stated multiple times that she could not do that and that it was too late.
“Multiple attempts to keep her on the line failed and the call was disconnected.”
Police said they discovered two of the girls dead with gunshot wounds to their heads – including 9-year-old Brailey – when they entered the home just minutes after the mother’s terrifying 911 call.
The mother was found alive and rushed to hospital but later died from her injuries.
Friends of the mom said she had been struggling with post-partum depression, per KTVQ.
Briana Baker told the outlet: “You never know what someone is struggling with inside of their mind. Tranyelle was not the monster this tragedy makes her seem to be.
“Her loved ones don’t want her to be remembered for her darkest moments. She was sweet, loving, and funny. Her children were her main focus in life.”
A GoFundMe has been set up for Tranyelle’s husband Cliff Harshman, who she shared the four children with.
The fundraiser said: “This devastating event has left Cliff and his loved ones reeling in grief, struggling to come to terms with the immense void left in their lives.
“The financial burden of funeral expenses, ongoing family support, and other related costs only adds to their pain.”
A second GoFundMe was set up to help Olivia with her fight to stay alive.
The page said: “She is in critical condition; the next few days will be crucial for her outcome.”
Byron Mayor Allen Clark said: “When you’re in a small community like this, you know, everyone rubs shoulders with everyone.
“It’s just devastating. I just hope and pray that the family can endure and hopefully brighter days ahead.”
