Father Kills Young Children, Family Member Before Turning Gun On Self
FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) - A 32-year-old Fort Worth man who killed his two young children and another adult family member before committing suicide, was in training to become an investigator with Child Protective Services.
Ronald Parra died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, according to the Tarrant County medical examiner.
The deaths of his 1-year-old son and 4-year-old daughter, were all ruled homicides. Both children died from gunshot wounds, according to the medical examiner's office.
Police said only that the shootings were believed to be an isolated incident and that they didn't believe the public was in danger.
