Houston shooting: Two found dead in apartment in suspected murder-suicide

A man and a woman were found dead in a west Houston apartment Monday night in what police believe is a murder-suicide.

Authorities responded to an apartment complex on Briar Forest Drive just before 8 p.m. Authorities say after entering the unit, they found the woman with multiple gunshot wounds in the living room. The man was found in the bedroom with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The man is thought to be a deputy with the Harris County Precinct 4 Constable’s Office, though authorities are still confirming his identity.

The situation was reported after a neighbor heard a gunshot from the apartment above and alerted authorities. Officers found the apartment door unlocked and, upon entering, discovered the two individuals.
