The man, who was dating the mother of two of the victims, was one of four people found dead in suburban Houston, the sheriff said.
A man fatally shot three teenagers before he sexually attacked a 12-year-old girl at a home in suburban Houston overnight, the Harris County Sheriff's Office in Texas said Sunday.
The suspect was found in the master bedroom of the home in Galena Park dead from self-inflicted gunshot wounds, Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said.
Officers found the other victims, ages 13, 14 and 19, dead in the residence, he said.
Galena Park officers were dispatched around 10:30 p.m. Saturday after reports of gunfire and the claim of sexual assault by the 12-year-old, Gonzalez said.
Gonzalez praised the girl for having the wits to grab the uninjured 1-year-old and flee to a neighbor's residence. The girl was nude, NBC affiliate KPRC of Houston reported.
"When she ran out, she was able to think about it, thankfully, and was able to grab the 1-year-old," Gonzalez said.
The 12-year-old was taken to a hospital for treatment, he said.
Authorities at the scene told KPRC that the 19-year-old victim was pregnant. Her fetus was not counted among the dead.
