HARRIS COUNTY, Texas — Two women were killed in an apparent murder-suicide at a north Harris County apartment complex Friday morning, according to Precinct 4 Constable Mark Herman.
This happened around 6:30 a.m. at the Venti Apartments located in the 14300 block of Ella Boulevard.
Detectives said two 25-year-old women were fighting over a gun, when it went off striking one of them in the head.
Investigators found that the woman who fired the gun made statements to dispatchers that she wanted to murder her partner and kill herself. Dispatchers later heard a second gunshot.
Both women died from gunshot wounds.
Deputies also said a 9-year-old child, the victim's niece, was inside the apartment at the time of the shooting.
Family members later arrived at the scene, to pick up the little girl.
