Texas– Houston police department found a woman and her husband dead of gunshot wounds following an apparent murder-suicide Sunday at a south Houston rehabilitation center. The man was visiting his wife’s room around 2:30 p.m. at the NeuroRestorative facility at 9551 Fannin.
Nurses at the facility heard popping noises and later checked on the couple, both of whom were in their 70s. His wife recently had a stroke and was receiving treatment at the facility, which helps people with brain, spinal cord illnesses and injuries.
The woman was slumped over in her wheelchair and her husband was on the floor nearby with the weapon, authorities said.
Both had gunshot wounds and had died by the time officers arrived.
