Police in Texas say a husband shot and killed his
estranged wife before killing himself at his daughter’s sweet 16 birthday
party.
An argument turned the celebration into a tragedy as
Kelly Suckla, 43, allegedly killed Kristi Suckla, 44, near the front door of
her parents’ home in Grapevine on Saturday night, WFAA reported.
Kristi moved with her daughter and 21-year-old son
into her parents’ home about two months ago, the Dallas Morning News reported.
It’s unclear when she and Kelly separated, but the
couple appeared to remain friendly, reports said. Continue after the cut...
“The family members were aware he was going to be
there,” Sgt. Robert Eberling of the Grapevine Police Department said on WFAA.
“So I think it pretty much took everybody by surprise.”
Relatives were gathered nearby when gunshots upended
the party, but no one witnessed the shootings, WFAA said.
Investigators said they don’t know what started the
argument, but allege that Kelly used a handgun to shoot Kristi and then
himself, KXAS reported.
Police will check in Euless, where the Sucklas used
to live together, if there are records of domestic disputes.
