The infant’s father went to the apartment to deliver diapers and got into an argument with the 19-year-old mother, police said. He then pulled out a gun and shot the woman’s mother, about 40, in the back before shooting the baby in the abdomen.
Police said the 19-year-old carried the infant outside. She was not hurt.
Officers responded to the call around 7:35 p.m. and found the suspect dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said. Officers performed CPR on the woman and applied a chest seal before Houston Fire Department crews took her and the infant to a hospital.
The woman was pronounced dead at the hospital. As of early Sunday morning, police said the infant was still listed in critical condition.
The identities of the victims and suspect have not been released by police.
