A man has been arrested after allegedly cutting off the power to the home of his ex-wife and their four children before breaking in through a window and shooting her four times -- all on the same day they were both scheduled to appear in court for a child custody hearing. The incident occurred at approximately 3:30 a.m. on Monday, June 28, in the northwest suburbs of Houston, Texas, when the Harris County Sheriff’s Office was called to a home in response to a reported shooting and home invasion, according to ABC News’ Houston station KTRK. Authorities told KTRK that a preliminary investigation revealed that Aaron B. Wright is alleged to have gone to the unlocked power box on the side of the home and cut off power to the house where his ex-wife, Andrea Wright, and their four children -- all between the ages of five and 12 -- were sleeping. Police then allege that Aaron Wright broke into the home through a back window before finding Andrea Wright and shooting her four times, according to the report by KTRK. The four children were sleeping in their beds at the time of the shooting and none of them were injured.
