A woman is recovering after being shot in the head by the father of her child on Monday. Police said it was an attempted murder-suicide. Now, the family of 42-year-old Brandi Cartmill is speaking out to advocate for victims of domestic violence. The double shooting happened around 9 p.m. on the 4200 block of Ennis Street in Houston's Third Ward on Monday.
that night, police received a call that the father of Cartmill's daughter had shot the mother, then himself. When officers arrived, they heard moaning coming from inside an apartment unit. Officers opened the door and a 2-year-old came out telling them that her mom had fallen down and needed help. "The baby, their two-year-old daughter, was screaming at the top of her lungs," said Wright. The mother was rushed to the hospital in critical condition.
