Deadly Crosby, Texas shooting: FULL official report

A man was found shot and killed in east Harris County, and his wife was flown to a hospital on Friday evening. Harris County Major Anthony McConnell provided early information at the scene.

What we know:

Sheriff Ed Gonzalez says deputies were called for a welfare check at the 10500 block of Crosby-Lynchburg Road, near Interstate 90.

Major Anthony McConnell said a family member called deputies since he couldn't reach his parents.

When deputies arrived at the home, they reportedly found a man dead with a gunshot wound. He was pronounced deceased at the scene. 

The woman was taken to a hospital via Lifeflight. Sheriff Gonzalez says she suffered a laceration to her head, and she is expected to recover.

Deputies are hoping to obtain information and security footage from neighbors, but Major McConnell says that could be challenging since the home is in a heavily-wooded area.

"Neighbors aren't gonna hear what's taking place way behind me, so this is gonna be a little challenge. But we are going to reach out to the neighbors as well, see if they have any cameras with vehicles going in and out of this," said Major McConnell.

What we don't know:

No one has been identified at this time.

There is no information on what led up to the shooting.
