Jefferson County deputies responded to a home on the 4300 block of South Holland Way early Monday morning when a family member called saying a father was shooting at a mother at a home.
Three children who were present were able to escape, but the man fired at the children and at deputies. A girl was shot in the leg but is expected to recover.
Neighbors were told to shelter in place for a time, and when a SWAT team went in they found a dead woman and they found the 54-year-old suspect dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. The suspect was identified as James Aragon.
The children are now with family members.
