A man in Richmond, Texas, shot and killed his estranged wife, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, and 8-year-old niece before turning the gun on himself after she refused to reconcile. The grandmother and two children survived by hiding in a closet and calling 911. Authorities revealed that the suspect, Alrick "Shawn" Alphanso Barrett, had arrived to drop off his child and initiated the shooting after a conversation about getting back together. The incident has prompted a domestic violence support organization to offer assistance to those in similar situations.
