Police: Texan Kills Girlfriend, Co-worker, Self

MOUNT PLEASANT (AP) – Authorities in Mount Pleasant say a man shot and killed his girlfriend and a co-worker then turned the gun on himself outside a vocational center. Titus County Sheriff Tim Ingram said Lee Boyd, 48, shot Junior Lee Horton, 35, about 6:30 Thursday morning in the parking lot of Vocational Opportunities Center of North East Texas. Ingram says Boyd then sat in the cab of his truck and shot himself in the head. Deputies who went to Boyd’s home found Vivian Mitchell, 45, dead with gunshot and stab wounds. Ingram said Boyd was upset with Mitchell because her ex-boyfriend had started working at the center where Mitchell also worked. The sheriff said it appears Boyd shot Horton because of a previous argument between the two.
