Police: Texas Man Fatally Shot in Arizona by Brother-in-Law

Charles Vallow was found unresponsive Thursday morning with two gunshot wounds to his chest

Police in Chandler say a Texas man is dead after allegedly being shot by his brother-in-law.

They say 62-year-old Charles Vallow was found unresponsive Thursday morning with two gunshot wounds to his chest. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police say Vallow, a Texas resident, was picking up his son at a home where Vallow's estranged wife lives with their son and her daughter.

They say Vallow and his wife got into an argument before Vallow's brother-in-law intervened.

Police say Vallow allegedly struck his brother-in-law in the head with a baseball bat.

The unidentified brother-in-law shot him and then called 911.

Vallow's estranged wife and brother-in-law were questioned by police and released with no charges filed at this time.

The case is being sent to the Maricopa County Attorney's Office for review.
