A man fatally shot his estranged wife and wounded another man outside her northwest Harris County apartment Thursday, then drove to a nearby church parking lot where he killed himself, authorities said.
Sheriff's deputies were called about 9 a.m. to the victim's apartment complex on Louetta near Texas 249 after residents reported hearing gunfire.
"They found a female who had been shot to death and a man with non-life-threatening injuries," said Sgt. Rolf Nelson, with the Harris County Sheriff's homicide division.
The gunman fled, setting off a search that ended about an hour later when his body was discovered in a parking lot behind New Start Community Church on Hufsmith-Kohrville Road near Spring Cypress.
The identities of the slain woman and her estranged husband were withheld until their next of kin had been notified.
