Investigators in Texas have confirmed that four people died Thursday morning in what appears to be a murder-suicide. Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said the bodies of a child and three adults were discovered in an apartment unit in a complex on the northwest side of Houston. A neighbor told ABC13 that she heard shots fired around 7:30 a.m. She claims she heard four shots, a pause, then two more shots. Though the investigation is ongoing, there does not appear to be a continued threat to the community.
