HOUSTON (AP) - Houston police say three people found dead in a house fire are an apparent double murder and suicide.
Firefighters found the three victims after extinguishing the blaze Friday morning.
Homicide detectives say 63-year-old Vickie Acker Flanery was found inside the home and her 96-year-old father, Charles Acker, was in a garage apartment. Both had been shot in the head.
Flanery’s husband, David, was found dead in the backyard with what police say was an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to his head.
Some ammunition stored in the house exploded during the intense fire and authorities later removed cases of ammunition and several rifles.
