Man Suspected Of Killing Estranged Wife, Taking Kid, Shoots Self

SAN ANTONIO, TX — The man suspected of shooting his estranged wife to death and driving off with their 18-month-old child has shot himself and is now in "grave condition," San Antonio police said. Officers were called to help with a child exchange just after 8 a.m. Sunday.

As officers were headed to the scene they received a second call that gunshots had erupted. Officers found a woman dead in front of the front door and the child was taken by her estranged husband, later identified as Richard Concepcion, Police Chief William McManus told reporters. Multiple shots were fired, police said.

Concepcion, 37, drove off in a white Toyota Tundra pickup truck with a bronze star military specialty license plate, police said. He was or is in the military, police said.

Police said on Twitter that Concepcion shot himself and was undergoing treatment. The 18-month-old child was found in backseat of the truck in Guadalupe County. The child was not injured.

Police had been called to the address multiple times over several months for domestic issues. The father moved out three months ago, police said.

Two other children were not involved in the shooting.

Homicide detectives have contacted military bases, police said.

****UPDATE: Homicide suspect Richard Concepcion is being treated for a self-inflicted gunshot wound and he is in grave condition. The 18-month-old child was found in backseat of truck unharmed in Guadalupe County.
