The happiest moment of their lives turned tragic when the new father took a gun and killed himself on Sunday, moments after his wife gave birth.
The man, who was 32 but otherwise not identified, was in a private room with his wife at Willowbrook Methodist Hospital in northwest Houston on Sunday afternoon when he turned the gun on himself and pulled the trigger, police said.
Witnesses reported hearing what sounded like arguing coming from the room before the gun went off, local KHOU-TV reported.
The man was declared dead after being flown to another hospital, Memorial Hermann, officials said.
