Suspect shot 3 female teens before assaulting girl, 12, sheriff says

 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.

Diplomatic conflict in India amid Ukraine war

  The Ukraine war dominates the G20 foreign ministers' summit in New Delhi. Despite Prime Minister Modi's call for unity, tensions between the Western world and Russia show no signs of easing. Russia is desperately trying to capture the city of Bakhmut in an attempt to control eastern Ukraine. Despite heavy attacks, the Ukrainian army continues to resist. But whether it will be possible to withstand that pressure indefinitely, there are doubts within Ukraine. Member of Parliament of that country Sirhi Rakhmanin said that for now the aim is to harm the Russian forces as much as possible. According to him, either there is an organized retreat, or the struggle must continue. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his troops were in control of every sector of the battlefield. It should be noted that the conflict for the control of Bakhmut city has been going on for the last seven months. Ukraine is gaining prominence in the diplomatic arena as well as on the battlefield.
