Man, woman and child found dead in possible murder-suicide, MCSO says

CONROE, Texas (KTRK) -- A man, a woman, and "small child" were shot to death on Thursday in what Montgomery County Sheriff Wesley Doolittle said is a possible murder-suicide.

An MCSO spokesperson said family members found the three people dead on their Conroe home's front porch shortly after 3:30 p.m. They added that the family had driven to the Crystal Creek property to check on them after they couldn't reach them for about two hours.

The spokesperson told ABC13 that the man made distressing phone calls to family members earlier in the day. While MCSO is not currently releasing details on those phone calls, they said they revealed possible motives for the shooting.

MCSO said it recovered a gun from the scene.

"It makes me sick," neighbor Shelby Carmona said. "It's too close to home and I have two children."
