HOUSTON – A man is dead and his estranged wife was shot in the leg during an argument police said was over their children’s bath times.
The wife was breaking up with her husband who was moving, according to Officer Ronnie Willkens with the Houston Police Department. He came by their apartment in the Greenspoint area Wednesday night just before 9 p.m. to get some belongings. The woman’s brother also lives in the apartment with the couple’s three kids.
“An argument broke out. He (the husband) was upset and yelling about the kids not having their bath yet,” Willkens said.
He and the brother started punching each other and the wife tried to break up the fight.
Both men pulled out guns and started shooting.
The husband was shot multiple times and died. The wife was shot in the leg and her brother took off, police said. They don’t know if he’s hurt but are looking for him.
Willkens said the kids aged 6 to 14 were in the area at the time and are all OK.
