A man is in custody after a woman was fatally shot and another man wounded in what police described as a domestic violence incident Tuesday night in Pleasant Grove, investigators say.
Dallas police spokeswoman Melinda Gutierrez said officers were called shortly after 9 p.m. to reports of a shooting at a home along the 6200 block of Belgrade Avenue. Officers arrived to find two men with four children in a room, with one of the men suffering from a gunshot wound.
Police were able to pull the children and two men through the window to safety, Gutierrez said. The children were unharmed.
A 27-year-old suspect surrendered to police after officers used a loudspeaker to order him out of the home, police said.
Officers entered the home to find a 26-year-old woman dead from a gunshot wound, police said.
The 22-year-old man wounded in the shooting was taken to a hospital, police said. Officers did not describe the extent of his injuries.
The investigation remains ongoing and no further information was made available.
