FORT WORTH, Texas - A man fatally shot his estranged wife and another man, and seriously injured his wife's daughter, Wednesday evening before turning the gun on himself inside a northwest Fort Worth duplex, police said.

The daughter ran bleeding from the residence in the 4500 block of Ebbtide Court right after the shots rang out, neighbors said. She had two young children with her.

"Everyone was yelling: 'Get your kids inside! Get your kids inside!' " neighbor Sharon Short said, crying in her driveway. "Nobody knew what was happening."

Investigators think the gunman arrived at the home and started shooting just after 6 p.m., said Lt. Jesse Hernandez, a police spokesman.
