A Houston-area Navy recruiter fatally shot his wife with a pistol as she was filing a domestic violence complaint against him, NBC News reported. Takara Hightower, 34, was speaking to two investigators on Sept. 22 when Gregory Hightower, 37, pulled out a pistol and started shooting at them. When she tried to run out of the house while holding their baby, he shot her too, killing her and leaving the infant alive.
Gregory Hightower shot and injured one of the two Naval Criminal Investigative Service agents who had been talking to his wife, and they both fired back, hitting him in the stomach. In addition to the infant, the couple’s 3-year-old was in their home at the time. Hightower fled the scene after taking a bullet to the stomach and escaped in his car. Deputies shot and killed him three hours later.
