More gun violence: Three teenage girls and gunman dead in Texas shooting

GALENA PARK, Texas (AP) — Authorities say three teenage girls, including one who was pregnant, were fatally shot by man who also sexually assaulted a 12-year-old girl who later escaped then fatally shot himself.

No names have been released.

The killings occurred at the home of the gunman's girlfriend in the Houston suburb of Galena Park at about 10:30 p.m. Saturday.

The girls who were killed were 19, 14 and 13, according to Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez.

The 38-year-old man then attacked the 12-year-old and then told her to run out of the house, Gonzalez said. She grabbed a 1-year-old baby girl and fled.

This country is an absolute Shithole. And Texas is one of the top Shithole states within it.

Gun possession is evidence of insanity! Desire for a gun is proof of instability. Too many guns is proof of stupidity.

Or perhaps, gun possession births insanity and it is simply a matter of good luck when a gun owner dies of old age before the insanity manifests.

I may die by gun, but I will never kill by gun, by God!
