HUDSON OAKS, Texas (AP) — A woman and her three children were killed and her estranged husband was wounded Tuesday in a shooting at their upscale home in a small town near Fort Worth.
Police Chief Ray Riley wouldn't say whether the case was being treated as a murder-suicide, or if the wounded man was a suspect. He said police found a gun near the woman's body.
The bodies of the woman and children, ages 4 to 10, were found by police inside the home after the wounded husband ran to a nearby house to get help. The children were found in their beds, Riley said. He wouldn't say how many times they had been shot or where.
The man, Manuel Perez, was in critical condition after surgery, Riley said. He had been shot in the back, police said.
Perez and his wife, Dee, were getting a divorce after 15 years of marriage, according to attorney Craig Towson.
