CROWLEY, Texas (AP) — Police in North Texas say a man fatally shot his girlfriend and killed two of her teenage daughters before turning the gun on himself.

Crowley Police Chief Luis Soler said Tuesday that investigators are still working to determine what led 36-year-old Samuel Morales to target the three at the home they shared south of Fort Worth.

Soler says 34-year-old Xiomara Leon was shot multiple times Sunday, as was her daughter, 18-year-old Linda Gonzalez. Thirteen-year-old Yasmine Zavala was strangled.

The bodies were found by officers responding to a report of a suicide attempt at the home.

Soler says another of Leon’s children, a 9-year-old boy, witnessed part of the attack and called a relative, who then called 911. The boy was not physically harmed.

NEW YORK (AP) — Fiat Chrysler is recalling about 67,000 model year 2006 and 2007 pickups because of a problem that could prevent the cars from starting, or cause them to move when the ignition key is turned.

The company says a wire in the clutch ignition interlock switch could break. That could keep the truck from starting, or if drivers don’t follow recommended starting procedures, the truck could move when the ignition key is turned. Chrysler says one death is associated with the problem.

The company is recalling Dodge Dakota, Dodge Ram 1500, 2500, 3500 and Mitsubishi Raider pickups that were made between July 2005 and June 2006. Nearly 55,000 of them are in the U.S.

FCA US LLC, the former Chrysler Group LLC, will replace the switches at no cost to consumers.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A new report finds that the number of law-enforcement officers killed by firearms jumped by 56 percent in 2014.

The annual report released Tuesday by the nonprofit National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund found that 50 officers were killed by guns this year, compared to 32 in 2013.

In all, the report says 126 federal, local, tribal and territorial officers were killed in the line of duty. That’s a 24 percent jump from last year’s 102 line-of-duty deaths. Shootings were the leading cause. The second was traffic-related fatalities.

Of gun-related deaths among officers, the report found that 15 were ambush assaults, matching 2012 for the highest total since 1995.

The states that saw the most officer deaths were California, at 14, Texas, at 11, and New York, at nine.

MCDONALD, Pa. (AP) — A southwestern Pennsylvania man has been jailed on charges he posted Facebook comments encouraging people to kill police the same day a man fatally shot two New York City officers.

Steven Drake Jr. was arrested Wednesday in McDonald. Police there were alerted to the Dec. 20 posts by officers in a nearby community.

Among the comments Drake allegedly posted were, “The police brought this on themselves! I say kill them all! Enough is enough.”

The 29-year-old from Midway faces a preliminary hearing Jan. 6 on charges including terroristic threats and disorderly conduct. Online court records don’t list an attorney for him.

Police say Drake acknowledged making the posts, which also referenced the recent police killings of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and Eric Garner in New York City.

CROWLEY, Texas (AP) — Authorities are investigating after police officers responding to a reported suicide attempt found four people dead inside a Texas home.

Crowley Police Chief Luis Soler said in a Sunday night news conference that a 9-year-old who was inside the home called a relative, who then called police. The woman told police around 4:15 p.m. that the child said a man there was injured after attempting suicide.

Soler says police arrived minutes later and found two women, a man and a female child dead.

Officers also found the 9-year-old caller at the scene, apparently uninjured. He is in protective custody and is being interviewed.

Soler could not immediately provide the causes of death and said the four had not been identified.

Crowley is about 15 miles south of Fort Worth.

AKRON, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio couple who married on Christmas Day decided to share their vows in the hospital room where their 4-year-old son, Billy, is being treated for cancer.

Sarah Lewis and William Cramer say over the years they made other wedding plans that fell through.

The Akron Beacon Journal reports (http://bit.ly/1vvrZEY) the timing then worked out for Thursday’s wedding at Akron Children’s Hospital with relatives in town and Cramer’s uncle available as a minister. Lewis and Cramer live in Mogadore, in suburban Akron.

Hospital workers prepared quickly for the wedding. Relatives including the couple’s other children, 2-year-old Mason and 1-year-old Delaney, jingled bells from the back of the room.

Doctors say Billy appears to be beating his neuroblastoma cancer.

EASTHAMPTON, Mass. (AP) — Massachusetts fire officials have come to the rescue of a capsized kayaker who may have been trying to install a Charlie Brown cutout on a raft that holds a Christmas tree at the center of a pond.

Easthampton firefighters rescued the man at about 8 p.m. Monday as he was clinging to the raft.

Fire Chief David Mottor says a 3-foot-tall cutout depicting the likeness of cartoon character Charlie Brown was found in his kayak.

Mottor says a practical joke isn’t worth losing a life. He says the water temperature was in the low 40s, cold enough to cause hypothermia.

Police say the man will likely not be charged.

HAMMONTON, N.J. (AP) — Authorities say a woman leaving Christmas Eve Mass in New Jersey was struck and killed by a minivan while crossing the street.

Hammonton police that the 77-year-old woman was struck by a Chevy Venture after leaving St. Anthony of Padua Roman Catholic church in Hammonton on Wednesday evening.

Hammonton police say the crash occurred at around 5:30 p.m. on Route 206 while the woman was trying to get to her car.

She was taken to the hospital by an ambulance and was pronounced dead a short time later.

The investigation is ongoing.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — A psychologist says a 12-year-old boy is competent to face trial in the fatal stabbing of a 9-year-old boy at a playground in western Michigan.

Defense attorney Charles Boekeloo will have two weeks to decide whether to seek another opinion.

The boy is charged with murder in the fatal stabbing of 9-year-old Michael Verkerke at a playground in Kentwood near Grand Rapids in August. The boy replied, “Yes, sir,” when a Kent County judge asked him if he understood what was happening in court Tuesday.

He’s designated as an adult in the juvenile court system, meaning he would be sentenced as a juvenile if convicted of murder, then resentenced as an adult at age 21.

The boy’s siblings have been removed from their home following allegations of abuse by their mother. The Department of Human Services was aware of the abuse allegations long before the fatal stabbing but didn’t remove the 12-year-old or his siblings from the home.

The Associated Press isn’t naming the 12-year-old boy because of his age.
