Mother Finds 2 Sons Deceased in Alleged Murder-Suicide in Houston
The Harris County sheriff's office received a 911 call around 2 am from a townhome in north Houston on October 7th where a woman unfortunately found both of her sons deceased in an apparent murder-suicide.
Reports say the woman "heard a disturbance" and attempted to intervene but the bedroom door was unfortunately locked. After breaking the door open, she found both of her sons shot. The 22-year-old son was said to have a history of mental health problems and is believed to have fatally shot his 24-year-old autistic brother before sadly turning the gun on himself.
After she made the horrific discovery, she was taken to the hospital to be treated for a panic attack. According to KTRK, it has yet to be determined what motivated the killing and the suicide.
