A daughter’s 16th birthday party turned into a nightmare in Grapevine when it ended with the murder-suicide of her parents.
It happened outside the front door of Kristi Suckla’s parents’ house in the 3000 block of Creekview Drive late Saturday.
The 44-year-old moved there with her teenaged son and daughter. Grapevine police say husband Kelly Suckla, 43, came over to the house Saturday night for their 16-year-old daughter’s birthday.
An argument broke out. Investigators said shots broke out. Suckla shot and killed his estranged wife with a handgun, then himself. The children and grandparents were inside the home and were not physically hurt.
