HOUSTON -- An 8-year-old boy witnessed a murder-suicide in a northwest Harris County shopping center parking lot, officials told KPRC Local 2.
Harris County sheriff's deputies went to the 12300 block of Antoine Drive at Veterans Memorial at about 4 p.m. and found two people dead inside a car.
Officials said a man apparently shot his girlfriend to death and then turned the gun on himself. The boy was inside the vehicle at the time, according to authorities.
He was not injured. His relationship to the man and woman was not immediately released.
The bodies were sent to the Harris County Medical Examiner's Office for identification.
An investigation is under way.
