NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas (KXAN) — The New Braunfels Police Department said it was investigating a suspected murder-suicide following a shooting Saturday evening.

Police arrived at a residence in the 900 block of Pumpkin Ridge around 5 p.m. Saturday, in response to a welfare concern regarding a woman “who had made threats to harm herself and her boyfriend,” per a Sunday news release.

Police added neither the woman nor her boyfriend had been in contact with family for multiple days.

Once entering the home, police found a woman and a man dead in a bedroom, each appearing to have been fatally shot. The department identified the woman as Abigail Garza, 32, of Robbstown and the man as Michael Burrer, 45, of New Braunfels.

Based on the initial investigation, officials said they believe Garza shot Burrer before shooting herself. The shooting is the first in New Braunfels this year and is being continually investigated by the New Braunfels Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Division.
