A woman and man are dead, and a baby is safe in Child Protective Services custody after a murder-suicide in west Bexar County, according to Sheriff Javier Salazar.
Dispatchers received a 911 call Tuesday afternoon from a man in his 30s who said he had killed a woman in her 30s and would kill himself next, Salazar said. Deputies were dispatched to the 14000 block of Potranco Road to an apartment complex to handle the 911 call.
When two deputies made entry, they saw a woman on the floor with stab wounds and a man a few feet away attempting to kill himself with a large knife, the sheriff said. The two deputies tried to talk him down, and then a third deputy came in, saw the baby in a high chair during the commotion and rescued her. Salazar said the baby was 6 to 7 months old. It’s unclear what her connection was to the woman and man, but the sheriff believes they may have been her parents.
