A man who engaged police in a standoff at a Texas home has been charged with capital murder after the bullet-riddled bodies of six children and two adults were found inside, officials said on August 9.

A man involved in a domestic dispute opened fire at a suburban Houston home Wednesday evening, killing six people, four of them children, and wounding one teenage girl, authorities said.
     
The suspect surrendered after a three-hour standoff with deputies on a nearby street, emerging from his car, raising his hands and sinking to his knees. His identity was not released.
