Monday an angry tenant shot his neighbor and the apartment manager before taking his own life.

HOUSTON CHRONICLE

Laura Schoellmann, 62

Today Houston police released the 911 recordings as people frantically called for help.

The voices and their pleas for assistance are disturbing.

“I'm dying. I'm dying,” the voice of a 44-year-old Israeli man could be heard yelling. That was the fist in a series of desperate 911 calls focusing on 99 Post Oak.

“Someone shoot me! He shoot me,” the frantic neighbor said to police dispatchers.

"Who shot you?” the police dispatcher asked.

“The guy under. My neighbor, my neighbor please. I'm bleeding. I'm dying,” he begged.

The man – the husband of the deputy consulate general for Israel was shot through his apartment door and struck in the chest and back.

The gunman, David Howard Thurm was angry over an eviction notice. After shooting his neighbor, Thurm made his way to the leasing office and reloaded.

That’s where he shot and killed apartment complex manager Laura Schoellmann, 62. She had just told the other employees to leave, while she phoned police.

These are among her last words.

Police dispatcher: “Houston 911 do you need police fire or ambulance?"

Schoellmann: “Yes, we have a man by the pool with a gun.”

Next on the recording; three shots, a scuffle in the background and then silence.

The next call comes from a man named Mark.

“What's going on? What's going, there's been an f--ing gun shot,” he is heard yelling over the phone.

Mark - a former military man - fought for the gun, was struck on head and escaped.

“I'm in the woods. I'm hiding,” he tells the dispatcher.

“Were you the one that assaulted?” the dispatcher asked.

“I was assaulted and the apartment manager she's probably dead, the suspect is possibly dead. He either missed me or shot himself. I heard five rounds,” Mark said. 

Thurm, depressed after a divorce, had indeed killed himself.

Later police found his computer and an e-mail that read like an obituary.

One copy went to his stockbroker who also called police.

“I’m calling from Merrill Lynch in Yardly, Pennsylvania. I just got an e-mail from one of my customers who lives in Houston that he has 'passed away, died today…This is not a joke.' 

I know he has tried to commit suicide in the past,” the stockbroker is heard telling officers.

That broker went on to give police her client's last known address: 99 Post Oak.

Thurm sent that e-mail at 12:53 p.m. The broker in Pennsylvania called 911 at 1:13 p.m. one minute after police arrived and gunfire had ended.
