"ATHENS, TX — For the second time in less than a month, Henderson County Sheriff’s deputies are investigating an apparent murder suicide where a estranged wife was killed by her husband."Sheriff Ray Nutt said deputies were dispatched to 11276 Loop 60 in LaRue in reference to a shooting about 4:30 p.m. Monday.
"`When they got there they found a female victim who had been shot and witnesses said a white male had run into the woods armed with a rifle and a handgun,` he said. Nutt said deputies quickly formed a perimeter and were awaiting a Texas Department of Public Safety helicopter and dogs from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice to assist in tracking the suspect.
"`Before they got there, we found our shooter’s body in the house next door. He evidently shot and killed himself,` he said.
"Nutt said the woman, 22-year-old Kristi Morris, had been staying in a safe house as she hid from her husband, 26-year-old Matthew Morris.
"`They have been having some family issues and had been separated. We don’t know why she came back to the area, but we do know that Anderson County has been looking for him to serve him with a protective order,` he said.
"Nutt said both bodies have been sent for autopsy and investigators are piecing together what happened."

Speaking from a very personal stand point since the lady in this story was my neice, I beg anyone who is trying to get away fron this same kind of situation to pay attention. If you even so much as think the person you are with might even begin to hurt you, please do not let this deter you. The safest place for you is in a safe house. Accidents do happen. The best thing for you to do is to not do the same things. Do not go to the same places or the same doctors. Please do not trust anyone other than the ones who are in a position of trust. In other words get to a safe house ASAP and get that protective order filed. The less people who know the safer you will be. Please do not lose faith because these people are here to help and if you listen to them you will stand a much better chance of things working out for you. Good luck to you all.
ReplyDeleteThis man was involved in an incident over 8 years ago that resulted in the death of my brother in law, who was only 19 yrs old at the time. Seems his bad decisions have been an ongoing problem for many years... when did someone plan to step up and intervene?
