HOUSTON – The Harris County Sheriff’s Office is investigating after two people were found dead Monday at a home in north Harris County.

Deputies were called just before 10:15 a.m. to a home in the 300 block of Silky Leaf Drive for a welfare check.

Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said the deaths appear to be the result of a murder-suicide and that a pistol was found inside the home.
