BYRON, Wyo. - A woman shot her four young daughters and then herself inside a home in northern Wyoming.

Watch the full video of this story below:
Three girls — one 9-year-old and two 2-year-olds — were killed. The 32-year-old mother and a 7-year-old girl were found still alive.
The Big Horn County Sheriff's Office initially reported Monday afternoon that "multiple people" had been shot at the residence, including at least one fatality. The sheriff's office did not immediately identify the relationship of the people involved.
The woman's sister, Savannah Rose, told MTN News on Tuesday her sister, Tranyelle Harshman, shot her daughters and then herself. She said one of the girls named Olivia is still alive and being treated at a Salt Lake City hospital where she is sedated but is responding to some touch.
A GoFundMe campaign has been opened to help the husband and father, Cliff Harshman.
The sheriff's office states in the press release that the shooting in the small town was first reported at about 1:30 p.m. Monday when a 911 call was made from a woman reporting gunshots inside a residence and "further reported her daughters had been shot."
The woman told the 911 dispatcher that she believed the children were dead.
The woman also told the dispatcher the locations of the girls inside the house. Two children would be located upstairs in their cribs and two children would be located downstairs in the bedroom they shared, the press release states.
The woman then told the dispatcher she could be found in her upstairs bedroom and that she was going to shoot herself.
"The dispatcher pleaded with the female caller over the phone for the female caller to remain on the line until responding suits arrived," the press release states. "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."
Sheriff's deputies and local law enforcement responded to the residence, located in the 200 block of East Shoshone Street, and arrived within minutes, the press release states.
Officers entered the residence and found two children ages 2 and 9 deceased with gunshot wounds to the head and two other children — ages 2 and 7 — also with gunshot wounds to the head but still alive.
The 32-year-old woman was found in an upstairs bedroom with a gunshot wound to the head but also still alive.
The 2-year-old who was initially found alive "succumbed a very short time later due to the extent of her injuries."
The surviving child and woman were initially taken to North Big Horn Hospital.
