Police
discovered the bodies of the children and two adults at the house in Spring,
Texas.
A gunman
has surrendered to police in the United States after allegedly shooting dead
six people, including four of his own children, near Houston.
One of
the suspect's daughters is in critical condition after being shot in the head,
but she was able to direct police to him.
After a
20-minute chase, the man's car was surrounded and he surrendered following a
two-hour stand-off.
Police
said the incident appeared to have started over a domestic dispute.
Police
described the suspect as a man in his 30s with a beard who was "cool as a
cucumber".
When
approached by officers he was "just sitting in his car looking out at
us," said Sgt Thomas Gilliland.
There
followed "two hours of constant talking with a man armed with a pistol to
his head and who had just killed six people".
Police
had been called to a house about 18:00 (23:00 GMT) and found three children and
two adults dead, a Harris County Sheriff's Office statement said.
A fourth
child died in hospital. The children ranged in age from 4 to 13. The two
adults, both male, are also believed to be related to the suspect.
