Dang this is so sad R.I.P. Via NYDN:
Former football linebacker who played professionally in the National Football League for Texas A&M Antonio Armstrong and his wife were fatally shot
inside their bedroom by their teenage son in the family’s Houston home early Friday, police said.
The violent shooting happened Palmetto at Mapleridge in their home in the Bellaire area. Dawn was found dead at the scene in the couple’s bedroom. Antonio was taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital.
Police say the 16-year-old boy has been charged as a juvenile with murder in the slayings.
Armstrong’s wife, Dawn, was pronounced dead in their bedroom after their 16-year-old son dialed 911 around 1:30 a.m., police sources told KTRK-TV. Antonio Armstrong was taken to the hospital in critical condition, but multiple local media outlets reported that he had died later in the day.
Investigators who searched the southwest Houston home found a gun still smoking with a note next to it reading, “I’ve been watching you,” the TV station reported. Police arrested the 16-year-old boy. Sources close to the investigation said he was likely to be charged as an adult.
All three of the couple’s children — including a 20-year-old son and a teenage daughter — were in the Palmetto St. home at the time of the shooting. All were unharmed.
