Notice that it was an unnamed "relative" who found the bodies of dad ANDREW MEANS and his 5-year-old daughter, which makes me think it was not the child's mother. I wonder if this was a custody/visitation case. Many of these murder-suicides by fathers are designed to punish the mother for leaving them, and the best way to inflict that punishment (in their sick minds) is to take her children away from her--permanently.

A man appears to have shot and killed his 5-year-old daughter and then himself in Killeen this morning, a statement issued by Killeen police said Thursday.
Police responded to a 911 call shortly after 4 a.m. to the 2100 block of Coach Drive that a relative had arrived to the home to find two people inside had suffered gunshot wounds, officials said.
Police discovered the bodies of 37-year-old Anthony Means and his 5-year-old daughter, officials said.
The child was taken to Metroplex Hospital, where she was pronounced dead shortly after 5 a.m., officials said.
“The preliminary investigation reveals that 37-year-old Means shot his daughter,” officials said, “and then shot himself.”
