FORT BEND COUNTY, Texas –
A mother shot her teen son and daughter-in-law before turning the gun on herself Tuesday evening at a home in Fort Bend County, according to police.
Investigators have identified 16-year-old James Nguyen, a Kempner High School student, Virginia MinhTrang Luu, 25, and Vonnie Bui, 34, as the victims shot in the double murder-suicide.
Investigators said Nguyen and Luu both died of gunshot wounds to the head and Bui died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
It happened at 11715 Dorrance Lane, in Meadows Place. Police said a man arrived home from work to discover three family members, his wife, mother and younger brother, shot to death inside.
A toddler and a baby, who were in the home at the time of the shooting, were unharmed. They are with other relatives.
The Kempner High School principal sent a letter to parents Wednesday that read:
