Police find couple and son dead
LEAGUE CITY, TEXAS (AP) -- Police say a couple and their son are dead after an apparent double murder-suicide.
Authorities on Wednesday night found the bodies of Lewis Cantrell III, his father, Lewis Cantrell II, and stepmother, Gayle Cantrell.
Sgt. John Jordan with the League City Police Department told the Houston Chronicle that a .38 caliber pistol was found near the younger man's body. Jordan said two other siblings were in the house when they heard gunfire, prompting them to run to a neighbor's house and call 911.
League City is located between Houston and Galveston.
