Mother And 4 Year Old Son Found Dead

"SAN ANTONIO, TX — The bodies of a 27-year-old woman and a 4-year-old boy were found in an apartment Friday in an apparent murder-suicide, San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said.

"McManus said the woman's mother had gone to the apartment at 223 Kelsey Drive to check on the victims after she hadn't heard from her daughter in a couple of days.

"`It's really bad. I couldn't believe it that both of them were gone, the kid too,` said Larry Burns, the woman's grandfather. `It's just too much to understand, you know.`

"A handgun was found in the apartment. The victims—whom family members identified as 27-year-old mother as Brianna Lee, who they say worked at Southwest General Hospital nearby, and her 4-year-old son, Dominic Rangel—were found lying on a bed.

"`I would have no idea as to what the motivation may be, but it's a very, very sad situation,` McManus said.

"The San Antonio Fire Department had to break into the apartment to gain entry."
