Kids Orphaned After Mom & Dad's Deadly Fight

"DALLAS, TX — A man fatally shot his wife before killing himself Monday night at their northwest Dallas home, police say.

"Efrain Gonzalez, 39, shot his wife Esmeralda Gonzalez, 34, multiple times at about 7:45 p.m. at their house on 7326 Fillmore Drive, a few blocks from Dallas Love Field, according to police reports.

"Upon arrival, officers found Gonzalez’s wife lying on the front porch steps. They were assessing her condition when they heard a gunshot. SWAT responded and found Gonzalez in the backyard, dead from a self-infected gunshot wound to the head. The couple was pronounced dead at the scene.

"The shooting started as a dispute between the couple but quickly escalated, homicide detectives said.

"Neighbors said the couple had two children between the ages of 10 and 15, but it is unclear if they were in the home during the shooting. Neighbors also said the boy and girl were taken to a home across the street and that a family member arrived later that night.

"Police records indicate there have been no other calls to that home in the past year, and neighbors said they never witnessed any previous domestic incidents there."
