HUNTSVILLE, Texas -- A 10-year-old boy shot his sister and then turned the gun on himself, investigators said.

Walker County sheriff's deputies said the shooting happened on Duke Road near Highway 30 late Thursday.

Detectives said Coby Tucker walked into his 15-year-old sister's room and opened fire.

Ashley Tucker was flown to Memorial Hermann Hospital in critical condition and was in good condition on Friday afternoon. She is a student at Huntsville High School.

Detectives said Coby fatally shot himself. He was a student at Huntsville Intermediate.

Investigators have not said how Coby got the gun, but they did say that the family has a gun safe in the home. The motive for the shooting is under investigation.

Deputies said the children's mother was at home at the time of the shooting but was apparently unaware that her son had a gun.

"Once she heard the shots, she responded and called 911," Detective Greg Williams said.

The children's father was at work at the time of the incident, investigators said.

Officials have not said if the parents will face any charges.

Deputies said they have never been called out to the family's home before.

Huntsville Independent School District officials said counselors are available to students or employees who need support.

Yay GOP you're right, gun control is lame!

Really, without any other info you post crap like that, how lame.

Sorry, but the truth is with the number of guns out there in house holds and the few times that this happens there is no reason to have more laws. It serves no purpose. More children are killed by the medical industry 83,000 a year compared to 3000 by guns (including gang shootings of 21 year old).

These numbers were published about 5 years ago by the AMA and used to push more gun control, but missed the point, as your comments do. How about more gun safety. There have been several stories about people attacking people with knifes and hurting them, but I only see the Brits setting limits on the size of knifes at this point.

Gun control was non-existent if the boy knew how to get into the safe. At least the girl is still alive

While guns do kill people, even if you took away the guns, the would still just use a really large rock.

Exactly even if you took away grenade launchers and rpg's they would still just use guns.

time to go back to the 80's answer me this one ? did we ever hear of kids killing parents or sisters brothers so damm offen answer is NO

in the 90 same thing NO

in the 2000 A LITTLE

now in 2012 its like little mom can i have pizza money she says no he pulls put a gun murders the whole family and self. why u may ask

pizza money

now u can blame the parents but that wouldnt help you could blame video games but if u do again u would have to blame the parents for lets little bobby age 4567891011121314151617 to play 17 plus games is that smart no because one day you the PARENT will say no or ground him from the 360 ps3 wii 3ds and one day wind up dead for that i dont feel sorry for any of them.

but if he is bullied in school everyday since he was 4 till 13 14 and no one will listen to him he does the only 2 things he thinks is right

one go kill everyone in school or to kill self and after he does one or the other than his story gets out in the news we could of saved bobby but its to late maybe he didnt come home bloody eought for MOM OR DAD to see he needs help they go to the school tell the adults who's job it is to protect little bobby from bullies and what do they do SFA and there goes another kid in the wooden box six feet deep because no one helped them.

now did the gun kill him of course the bullet did he did pull the trigger but if he didnt have a gun he would of had a hammer axe or whatever who's next tommrow guess we wait because this is going at a crazy rate whats this 4 or 5 in the last 2 months

my 2 cents read it like it hate it

Motive is important here. Was he just playing around with the gun, crazy, etc? If he did get the gun from home then this could be child endangerment. Not because of the gun but because it was not SECURE enough to keep out of harms way. If it was locked the kids should not have the code. As for knife comment...a knife is not a gun. I mean you can stab someone with a pen if you wanted.

Anyway sad for the family and this kid was really disturbed and know one saw it.

Yay GOP you're right, gun control is lame!

The blame here doesn't belong to gun laws. If the family had the gun properly stored in the safe and with the gun in a safe position (magazine out and the slide locked with a cable lock, assuming they used a semi-auto) then this wouldn't have happened. I wouldn't store a gun in the ready position, with one chambered, in a home with kids.

If I felt the need to have a gun ready to use while in that home, maybe due to issues in the area or whatever, I would use a locking holster and open-carry in the home; allowing me to ensure the gun was in my sight at all times (I would fall back on a very good safe with an alarm in my room while sleeping).

It is the job of the parents and gun owner to keep the gun out of the hands of kids. Parents bear the same responsibility for a lot of items in their home, like rat poison.

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
    • I don't understand the vision. Do people really want to buy a new computer from Dell with 6 browsers installed? We all keep asking for Microsoft to stop having so much junk on their OS, and adding a bunch of browsers seems to go against that. Ideally, we would just be asked what browser we want during OOBE but Google is just going to pay Dell a bunch of money to include Chrome. Additionally, would you want your phones to start including all the browsers too when you get them? The only thing I ever wanted was to be able to uninstall IE or edge and I believe you are now able to. I do agree that microsoft needs to chill with their "are you sure you don't want to try edge before you install chrome" ads when going to download chrome.
    • It is notable that around 70% of web browser users choose Google Chrome. However, it is puzzling why anyone on Windows would opt for Chrome when Microsoft Edge is often superior in many aspects and comes pre-installed. Edge collects less data, uses less RAM, and is more optimized for Windows as a native Microsoft product. While some may point to bloat in Edge, much of it can be removed with simple tools, requiring no more effort than installing Chrome. Meanwhile, Chrome reportedly downloads large amounts of AI data (4 GB) without explicit consent. I'm sure you Chrome users love that, or? Here is one example of a tool that doesn't even need to be installed to be able to use: https://github.com/TheBobPony/MSEdgeTweaker Although Microsoft’s aggressive promotion of Edge may be questionable, the browser’s current advantages make it a preferable choice over Chrome today, even if Chrome may have been better in the past.
    • JetBrains rolls out IntelliJ IDEA update with Markdown preview fixes and more by David Uzondu Image via JetBrains IntelliJ 2026.1.3 from JetBrains has landed, bringing several highly requested bug fixes that target common UI glitches and terminal rendering issues. If you run tmux inside the integrated terminal, the IDE no longer renders the cursor above the active line. The Markdown preview bug, which was fixed in this release, had annoyed developers for quite some time, as the preview pane failed to render images saved outside the project directory. Instead of displaying the actual image, the IDE simply showed a broken image icon, a problem that stuck around for two years before this update. Over on Windows, developers running WSL can now use wsl.exe to spin up their environments without losing terminal functionality. In previous builds, launching a terminal shell with something like wsl.exe -d ubuntu inside a Windows-based project broke both shell integration and active process detection. Other bug fixes in this release include: An issue where Gradle sync incorrectly reported success as a failure on WSL when using Gradle 9.5.0. A syntax highlighting bug that flagged valid Java for-loop initialization blocks with multiple statements as incorrect. A warning bug that triggered a false non-null local variable alert when using JSpecify annotations. A database generation bug that hid the option to use a DELETE statement instead of a TRUNCATE checkbox. A Kotlin highlighting failure where an assertion error in the Gradle redundant library inspection broke error highlighting. A UI bug where the ComboBox popup lacked a maximum height restriction. A Snowflake syntax error where DataGrip failed to support the "create temp" command. A Svelte syntax parsing failure that incorrectly flagged quotes inside inline expressions. A VCS repository manager deadlock that triggered thread pool exhaustion. A memory leak where the LazyTree component kept all previous versions of a tree in memory. IntelliJ 2026.1.3 is the third bug fix release for the IntelliJ 2026.1 series. The first one landed back in April with a fix for the WSL Python interpreter freeze, another fix for guest participants using Emmet abbreviations, and corrected WildFly server deployment errors.
