HOUSTON (WPVI) -- Police say a man tried killing his wife and himself multiple times Saturday in Houston, Texas.

He then shot himself near the 1700 block of North Loop West, police say.

The exact timing of events is still somewhat unclear.

The man died on the scene.

There's no word on the woman's condition.
