A masked man fatally shot three family members in southwest Houston near West Airport at around 10:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
A couple and their 6-year old daughter were shot to death, according to a surviving family member. The couple’s other daughter, a 10-year-old, was shot near the elbow and played dead until the killer left the house and then called for help. Besides the two girls, the couple had two more children: a 1-year-old boy who remained uninjured in the house and an 8-year-old boy who was out with his uncle at the time of the shocking event.
