A man suspected of killing six people, including four of his own children, surrendered to police in the Houston suburb of Spring after a lengthy standoff with officers late on Wednesday.
Police say the suspect, believed to be in his 30s, entered the home in the early evening and shot a 39-year-old man and a 33-year-old woman along with two boys, aged 4 and 14 and two girls, aged 7 and 9 — all of them his children.
His 15-year-old daughter survived a shot to the head and managed to tell a 911 operator her father was en route to her grandparent's home where he intended to kill them, Deputy Thomas Gilliland of the Harris County Sheriff's Office
said.
Reuters reports that "the gunman then led police on a nearly half-hour pursuit capped by a standoff in a residential cul-de-sac a few miles from the scene of the slayings.
"Streaming video footage from local television station KTRK showed the suspect's car sandwiched between two trucks where the chase ended, with more than a dozen police vehicles nearby.
"After a four-hour interlude in which the suspect was seen placing a gun to his head, he walked out of the vehicle with his hands raised, then laid down on the ground to be taken into custody" the report added.
Police say five of the victims were found dead at the scene. The teenager, who remains in a critical condition, and another child were airlifted to a local hospital, where that child later died.
