TEXAS CITY, TEXAS—The father of one of three children found shot to death in Southeast Texas was charged Friday with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, police said, but has not been named a suspect in the killings. Texas City Police Department said in a statement that 27-year-old Junaid Hashim Mehmood was arrested late Thursday, just hours after the slain children and their wounded mother were discovered by officers in an apartment in Texas City. The children were found about 48 miles away in Texas City. Texas City is about 50 miles (80 kilometres) southeast of Houston. Houston police received a call from a man who identified himself as the person being sought and asking to surrender.
