Two Dead After Crash, Shooting in Texas
ARLINGTON, Texas -- Police say a Texas man caused an eight-vehicle wreck that killed another motorist, then fatally shot a man who walked up to the scene.
Thomas Lester Harper faces murder and intoxication manslaughter charges and was booked into an Arlington jail. No attorney is listed for him.
Harper's twin toddlers were with him, and police say the boy and girl suffered minor injuries.
It happened Wednesday when Harper's SUV crashed into two cars in Arlington. Investigators believe he sped away and smashed into the rear of a pickup truck, killing the man driving that vehicle and triggering the eight-vehicle wreck.
Police say Harper shot a man who walked up to the driver's side of the SUV. It's not clear if he was a bystander, witness or someone in the crash.
