A newlywed couple is dead after a man fatally shot his wife in the head and then killed himself inside their Texas home while the woman’s two young children were at school.
Casey Ross, 43, made a desperate call to police from inside a closet in her San Antonio home after her new husband, David Ross, had shot her in the head and then killed himself.
Police found David dead in a hallway of their suburban home when they arrived on Friday morning and rushed Casey, an anesthesiologist and mother of two children from a previous relationship, to the hospital, where she later died.

David Ross, 46, shot his wife, Casey Ross, 43, then shot himself inside their home in San Antonio, Texas.
“I was walking here only a week or so ago, and I saw a man playing basketball with a little girl, and I saw a woman in the garage taking groceries out of the back of the car,” neighbor Jack Verhagen told Fox San Antonio. “And a week later, I am standing in front of a murder scene. I can’t believe it.”
In addition to running her own medical clinic, Casey Ross was a contractor in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit and a part-time professor for the University of Texas Medical School.
