Wolfe then shot himself dead, the Harris County Sheriff’s Office confirms.
Wolfe was wanted on a felony warrant for theft out of Harris County. A check of his records also show he has been charged with evading arrest and burglary in the past.
The children’s grandmother said she left the house around 12:15 p.m. to go to the store, while the children were sleeping. When the woman returned home, she said the children, ages 7 and 12, were gone. Hours later, deputies were called to the horrific scene on Edgeboro. source
“It appears to be a situation of family violence where the adult male is the paternal father of one of the children,” Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said.
An investigation is ongoing to determine a possible motive.
