“Chilling Moments: Girl Texts Stepdad Moments After Shocking Alleged Maternal Shooting Over Hidden Secrets”

Gregg can be seen entering her mother’s bedroom before three loud bangs are heard. The bangs, presumably gunshots, were followed by Smylie’s screams, footage obtained by Law & Crime shows.

The 15-year-old then returned to the kitchen and started using a phone.

Prosecutors have alleged that she used her mother’s phone to lure her stepfather, Heath Smylie, to the house by texting: “When will you be home honey?,” the crime news outlet reported Tuesday (September 18). 

When Heath Smylie arrived at the home, Gregg shot him in the shoulder before he wrestled the weapon away from her.

Prosecutors also allege that Gregg texted one of her friends, asking her to come over to the scene and claiming there had been an “emergency.”

“Have you ever seen a dead body? My mom is in there,” the then 14-year-old told her friend when she arrived, according to WLBT3.

She reportedly told her that she had “three more gunshots waiting” for her stepfather.

After Gregg shot Heath Smylie, both friends ran to a nearby home. Smylie called 911, and police located Gregg sitting in a field before taking her into custody.

Prosecutors accuse the teen of shooting her mother because a concerned friend had told her about Gregg’s “secret life.”
