Thanksgiving day massacre: Ex-husband goes on shooting rampage in Houston home leaving 2 dead, 2 injured

A shooting at a residential home near Houston, Texas, Thanksgiving night left two people dead and two others wounded, authorities said. An adult injured in the shooting is in critical condition.

Houston police are continuing to investigate the scene at 1500 block of Baggett Lane, in Spring Branch, where four people, including three adults and one teenager, were shot. The two surviving victims were transported to the hospital, Fox Houston reported.

HPD Assistant Chief Patricia Cantu said during a briefing Thursday that the family had just finished eating a Thanksgiving meal together when the ex-husband of the deceased came in through the backdoor and opened fire on the family.

"There were four other people inside the house that ran into the rooms for safety," Cantu said. The suspect unloaded multiple rounds and reloaded the firearm at least once during the rampage, the chief said.

The suspect fled the scene.

Police received a call of a shooting in progress at 9:18 p.m. and officers arrived at the scene five minutes later, finding four people shot in the house.

An adult male and an adult female were declared deceased at the scene. A 15-year-old victim is in stable condition while the surviving adult male is in critical condition. 

Police said they are not sure of the relationship among the victims at this time as the family invited non-family friends to the gathering. 

"This is a very sad situation. It's Thanksgiving. People are supposed to celebrate with their families," Cantu said, calling the shooting a "domestic-related incident."

She added: "We are praying for the families."

"I was a criminal justice major and I regret it," one woman said through laughter. "I really don’t like it. I would have probably done art."

But another graduate said: "I majored in computer science, and I would keep the same major." 

Nearly 40% of college graduates regret their majors, a Washington Post analysis found earlier this year. Among arts and humanities majors, nearly half wished they’d studied something else, while STEM graduates tended to feel they made the right choice.

"I realized that my major wasn’t very specific," an international business major told Fox News. "I don’t entirely regret it, but when I started applying for jobs, I realized it wasn’t like a specific field."

"Most of the jobs were looking for a specific field like data analysis or like software or like accounting majors," he continued.

Some suggested alternative paths.

"I think going to a trade school would probably be better off," one man said in Philadelphia. "I think right now the opportunities in that field are probably outstanding."

A few in the arts told Fox News they found their passion.

"I got a bachelor of fine arts in musical theater and I don’t regret it because that’s my job," one woman said. "I live here in New York. I’m a Broadway actor."
