Story Excerpt:
(NBC News) Emergency calls placed in the minutes after Josh Powell killed his two young sons and then set his home on fire were released Tuesday, including one from the “traumatized” social worker who was outside the house and saw the flames.
The social worker had brought Charlie, 5, and Braden, 7, to the house for their court-ordered supervised visit on Sunday. She frantically called for help as soon as she said Powell took the children and shut her out of the house.
“Nothing like this has ever happened before, I’m really shocked, I can hear one of the kids crying,” the woman said. “This is the craziest thing, he looked right at me and closed the door.”
Concerned that the children might be in a life-threatening situation, the woman also told dispatchers she smelled gas coming from the house. After the house exploded in flames, she called again.
“He blew up the house and the kids!” she cried. “He slammed the door in my face!”
