HOUSTON(KTRK) -- Houston police sources tell ABC13 that they believe the family members found dead after a house fire in northwest Houston were killed in a murder-suicide. They tell us that the husband killed his wife and her father, before shooting himself.

When firefighters arrived early Friday morning, HFD said 50-foot flames could be seen shooting from the house.

[...]

The family lived in the house in Oak Forest, quietly, for nearly 30 years.

[...]

Police have identified the deceased as retired teacher Vicki Flanery, her husband David, and Charles Morton Acker.

""The fire created a lot of popping like firecrackers. Like I thought it was a flat tire. A lot of noise," neighbor Rene Lozano said...."
"ATF agents removed box after box of ammunition and a number of rifles from inside the home. Though the investigation is far from complete, they are not looking for any suspects outside of the home." bbm

same as OP link http://abc13.com/news/sources-husband-killed-wife-her-dad-then-himself/1679001/ Dec 30

Sad, sad, sad. Thoughts & prayers to family, friends, & community.

I wonder if the couple had children. Hopefully not, but even so, there surely are other loved ones who will be tragically affected. My heart goes out to them.
