Parents Found Dead, Kids Injured In Texas Home Shooting

A family of four was found shot in their Texas home on Monday morning, news92fm.com reported.

The Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office announced both parents died and two children were injured.

A 15-year-old girl and 11-year-old boy were airlifted to the hospital with unknown conditions. Deputies said the girl called 911.

A gun was recovered from the scene. While an investigation is still ongoing, a sheriff's office spokesman said investigators believe the incident was likely a murder-suicide.

Police said there was no sign of forced entry at the home and do not have any suspects at this time.

One of the family's neighbors, Seve Villani, lived near the family for 11 years and never realized anything out of the ordinary.

"Very surprising, very happy family," Villani told News 92. "We said hi to them every day. No problem at all."

The names of the victims have not been released.

In April, a Midland firefighter died in a murder-suicide following a standoff with police.

Nestor Castro Jr., 35, was found dead after allegedly shooting and killing 35-year-old firefighter Henry "Trey" Rodriguez III.

Following the shooting, Rodriguez was rushed to Midland Memorial Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

Five hours after Castro barricaded himself inside the home, he was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. According to a police spokeswoman, a woman was found at the home but survived uninjured.
