A 4-year-old girl, two women, and a man were found shot to death at a Harris County apartment in what appears to be a murder-suicide, authorities say.
Deputies responded to a call at an apartment in the 9700 block of Cypresswood Drive on Thursday morning. They found a 4-year-old girl, two women, and a man dead.
The sheriff says it appears that the man shot his estranged wife, their 4-year-old daughter, and his mother-in-law. Authorities say a semi-automatic pistol was found next to the man’s body. Authorities do not believe the man was living at the apartment and say he may have shown up Thursday while the woman and her child were getting ready to leave for work and school."More recently, it may have led to an allegation where the adult male had possibly injured the young child – that would be his daughter. So we're definitely going to look into that as well," Sheriff Gonzalez said.
"I just can’t imagine what was going on in that person’s head when they decided to do what they did," said Angelique Lee.
