A mother is believed to have killed herself and her two children after shooting at her husband outside a Glendale bar just after midnight Monday, police said.
Before the fatal shootings, Glendale police officers responded to Tailgaters Sports Bar & Grill near 61st Avenue and Bell Road.
A man told officers his wife arrived at the bar, began shooting at him and then fled the scene in a gray SUV, according to the Glendale Police Department.
His wife was 38-year-old Andrea Clarice Davis, according to the Phoenix Police Department.
Officers secured the scene and treated a woman who had been shot in the back of the head. She was brought to a hospital and is expected to survive.
The husband later received threatening text messages from his Davis, who allegedly said she was going to harm the children. He told authorities she was with their children at a Phoenix residence near 49th Avenue and Paradise Lane.
The Glendale and Phoenix police departments began coordinating a response to the residence, and during this time, Davis allegedly sent her husband a photo of one of the children bleeding from the head.
Learning that the children had been injured prompted officers to enter the residence, where they found the wife and their two children — a 10-year-old boy and an 18-month-old girl — dead, with gunshot wounds to the head.
Both scenes remain under active investigation. Phoenix police are investigating the apparent murder-suicide, while Glendale police are investigating the shooting outside the bar.
