HARRIS COUNTY, TX (KTRK) -- A teenage daughter found her father shot to death overnight at their home in northwest Harris County.

A father was shot and killed while his children were at home in NW Harris County, according to neighbors.

The teen tells Eyewitness News she heard a bing from the alarm as the door opened.

She heard her father on the phone, and then, two gunshots rang out.

The teen ran around the home and found her father shot to death inside the garage.

Neighbors said four small children and the teen were at home when the shots rang out.
