Woman dead after Texas family of five shot getting out of their car leaving four injured 

A Texas woman is dead after her family of five, including her three children, were shot at while leaving their car Sunday evening. 

The interim police chief in Sunnyvale - about 16 miles east of Dallas - said officers responded to a weapons disturbance call just before 6 p.m. local time. 

The family had parked in their apartment complex and were followed by two suspects. 

Once the man, woman and three children got out of their white car, the suspects began shooting. There were visible bullet holes in the windows of the vehicle afterward.

The woman got out of the car and ran into her apartment, but was pronounced dead on the scene when authorities arrived.

The victims have not yet been identified. The children, all between the ages of eight and ten years old, are expected to survive. 

The man was taken to a separate hospital from the children. Police were on their way to question him Sunday evening. 

Interim Chief Bill Vegas of Sunnyvale Police was horrified by the shooting. 

'I've been in the business 33 years, and it's never an easy scene to walk up on where five people have been shot... three children is pretty horrific,' he told CBS Dallas.

The suspects, according to authorities, are believed to be an adult man and an adult woman.

Police also said they believe the suspects were driving a black Toyota Camry. 

The town police is also working with the neighboring city of Mesquite to share security camera footage in their investigation.

When asked if there was a threat to the public, Vegas explained that there were so many unknowns that it was possible the suspects could strike again.

'I would not say that there is not a threat to the public. We don't know where they are,' Vegas said. 

'We do know that they are armed. We do know that they are capable of shooting, so there is a definite threat,' he added.

Investigators are still trying to determine the events that led to the shooting.
