The 41-year-old husband died by suicide after he killed her, according to authorities.
Sheriff's deputies responded to the 3100 block of Upland Spring Trace at about 10:55 p.m. Tuesday.
When they arrived, they found the woman dead from a gunshot wound in the driveway. A 25-year-old woman who had been stabbed was taken to the hospital.
Deputies told ABC13, the violence unfolded as the wife returned home from work. She was just getting out of her car, when the man confronted her and shot her in the driveway, officials said.
After the shooting, he allegedly forced his way into the house, where he stabbed the 25-year-old. She is expected to survive.
Three children, ages 7, 13 and 16, were inside the home at the time, but they were not injured.
Deputies found the man about a mile away from the house, dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
There were prior domestic violence calls, but that's still under investigation, said Sgt. Greg Pinkins with the Harris County Sheriff's Office.
The 25-year-old's connection to the victim or the suspect wasn't immediately clear.
