HUNTSVILLE —
Local authorities have ruled the shooting of a Huntsville woman and her husband a murder-suicide after the woman died from her injuries over the weekend.
At about 11 a.m. Saturday, Frank Murray, 82, walked into a local nursing home where his wife, Haroldine Murray, 81, was a resident and shot her. He then turned the gun on himself, Huntsville police said.
Officers found Mr. Murray dead at the nursing home, located at the corner of Milam Street and Old Houston Road. Mrs. Murray, still alive when officers arrived, was transported by Life Flight to Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston for treatment. She died Saturday.
“This is being ruled a murder-suicide, but because the suspect is deceased no charges will be filed,” HPD Lt. Jim Barnes said Monday. “Our officers are still investigating the incident to make sure this is in fact what happened.”
Investigators said they do not yet have a motive for the murder-suicide.
