Really. He had to kill them? This is a sick situation. probably ( which means I can be wrong solus) there may be a history of domestic violence or maybe alcohol or drug use?? As for the gun, I don't know weather it is his or stolen.

Not sure how it works in your neck of the woods but if two people attack me with knives I'm going to resolve that threat, post haste.

Why would you question the legality of his gun?

The teen's name has not been released, but the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences identified her mother as Sandtrece LaToya Ratliffe.
She is dead for crying out loud. If it said her name was being withheld until the next of kin was notified, then maybe. After all her mothers name was released.
Am I missing something?????

Gov't should not get involved in family disputes. For any reason, anytime. Just my viewpoint.

Sounds like a soon to be ex-wifey got mad and wanted to harm her spouse and enlisted the aid of her daughter.

I'm sure he'll be arrested and get screwed.

It's always a fluke when a woman is accused of being aggressive. Women are vulnerable little creatures who only wish to nurture their family.
