Dee

Two of the three children killed in their Hudson Oaks home were probably awake when they were shot, and the shooting death of their mother was a suicide.

The deaths of Sergio Perez, 10; Diego Perez, 9; and Bianca Perez, 4, were homicides. He also ruled that Dee Etta Perez, 39, died from a single gunshot wound to the left temple and she had "large quantities" of gunpowder on her hands.

Dee Perez killed the children Tuesday morning, critically wounded her husband when he arrived for a scheduled visit then killed herself.

Her estranged husband, Manuel "Manny" Perez, 38, a captain with the Fort Worth Fire Department, remained hospitalized with a gunshot wound to his back.
