Police: Man wakes up to find gunshot wound to his leg, wife fatally shot at Pasadena home

The shooting call came in about an hour after earlier reports of gunfire in the same area, police say.

PASADENA, Texas — Pasadena police are looking into what events led up to the double shooting of a couple at a home early Wednesday.

A woman died at the scene, and a man was taken to the hospital with a gunshot wound to his leg.

It happened in the 4200 block of Rainfall, according to Officer Jessica Ramirez with the Pasadena Police Department.

Police said they first received reports of gunfire in the area at about 2:43 a.m.

About an hour later, a man called police to report that both he and his wife had been shot while they were asleep. The man said he woke up and found his wife dead.

Police said they found shell casings outside of the home, but they have not yet confirmed if the earlier gunfire was related to the double shooting. They are also unsure why there would be an hour between the two 911 calls.

Police also did not locate an weapons, Ramirez said.

Investigators are canvassing the neighborhood, hoping to get more clues from witnesses and area cameras.

Currently, no names have been released.
