Woman screams for help as deputies arrive at fatal shooting scene

HOUSTON – A woman was heard screaming for help Saturday when deputies arrived at the scene of a fatal shooting in northwest Harris County.

The shooting was reported about 12:30 p.m. in the 16000 block of Coralbend Drive.

"(Deputies) started kicking down the door," neighbor Katie Porter-Waldrip said. "They kicked it about twice and the door opened. You heard yelling and screaming."

Authorities said that deputies entered the home and found the woman lying on the floor, suffering from a gunshot wound. The body of a man, who had suffered a single gunshot wound, was also found lying on the floor, authorities said.

The woman was taken to Cy-Fair Hospital, where she was listed in stable condition, Harris County deputies said.

Two people who were inside the home and witnessed the shooting are being interviewed by investigators, deputies said.

"They brought two teenagers outside," Porter-Waldrip said. "You could hear them crying and screaming, and they put them in the police car."

Deputies said that it appears that the man shot the woman before turning the gun on himself.

The identities of the victims were not immediately released.
