HARKER HEIGHTS — A Harker Heights man apparently shot and killed his two children and then took his own life one day before his divorce from their mother was scheduled to be finalized.

Found dead in the mobile home at 937 Lemonwood St. were Louis Allen Williams, 44, James Williams, 7, and Amanda Williams, 16.

Harker Heights Police Chief Mike Gentry said Thursday that police responded to a 911 call at about 8:32 p.m. Wednesday which said three people were found shot to death in the house.

Justice of the Peace Garland K. Potvin of Killeen said he pronounced the father and boy dead at 9:59 p.m. and the girl at 10:01 p.m.

“The boy and his father were at one end of the home in a bedroom and the girl was in a bedroom at the other end,” said Potvin.

He said he ordered autopsies performed at the Dallas County Medical Examiners office in Dallas.
