Ronald Lee Haskell

(SPRING, TX) — Seven people were shot Wednesday night in a family massacre in Spring. Six of them, including four children, are dead. And now, we’re learning more about the suspected killer.

According to deputies, 33-year-old Ronald Lee Haskell is related to the people he allegedly shot. They were his estranged wife’s family.

“I’ve not personally in 40 years seen a tragedy in one family that’s this horrific,” Harris County Precinct 4 Constable Ron Hickman said.

The Latest News Headlines, Traffic and Weather:

Haskell went to the family’s home in the 700 block of Leaflet Lane in the Enchanted Oaks neighborhood. He allegedly gathered the kids and waited for the adults to return home. When they refused to tell him where his estranged wife was, he reportedly shot them all.

A 39-year-old man, his 33-year-old wife, and their children – a 13-year-old boy, 9-year-old girl, 7-year-old girl and 4-year-old boy – all died.

Only a 15-year-old girl survived, and she’s now being called a hero.

She was shot in the head and is in critical condition after undergoing surgery, but she was able to tell deputies where Haskell was going next.

Deputies arrived before he did.

Haskell led the deputies on a chase that ended a few miles away at the end of a cul-de-sac.

After a SWAT standoff lasting more than three hours, Haskell surrendered peacefully.
