A woman and her 7-year-old son were killed in what police believe was a double murder murder by her husband and father.
The authorities responded to an apartment complex Katy, Texas, on Saturday, June 7, when they found the woman and the child dead from gunshot wounds, as well as a man injured, said Harris County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) in a News notice Shared on Facebook.
The man was transported to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead upon arrival, police say.
According to HSCO, the woman was killed 43 years old and her husband was 42 years old. A family member told the authorities that the man “had been depressed recently because of unemployment and other issues.”
All three identities of the deceased have not yet been published.
During a press conference, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said that the young boy was found “deceased in bed”, per Fox 26 Houston.
“Murder investigators, detective and CSI units are on stage treatment,” Sheriff Gonzalez added.
“More recently, the adult male had apparently been without a job and had undergone some other issues and had possibly sought some treatment recently,” he continued. “But today we do not know what happened that led to him taking this type of action.”
