Law enforcement officers surround a shooting suspect Wednesday, July 9, 2014, in Spring, Texas. After hours of waiting and negotiations, the man, suspect in the slayings of six people, including four children, emerged from his car, raised his hands and sank to his knees as deputies placed him under arrest. No identity has been released.

A 15-year-old girl who survived is in critical condition at an area hospital. Despite her injuries, police say she provided key information about the gunman.
"She was able to provide us the name of the person who shot them, where he was going next .. and we caught him going up to that residence where other relatives of that family lived and we assume he meant to shoot them as well," said Ron Hickman with Harris County Constable Precinct Four.

developing story--this is all i have so far
Deputy constables say a man shot and killed six people, including four children, during a domestic dispute in Spring. The alleged gunman finally surrendered Wednesday night after an hours-long standoff.

The shooting happened late Wednesday afternoon in the 700 block of Leaflet in the Enchanted Oaks subdivision. The Harris County Precinct 4 Constable's Office says the man, identified as 33-year-old Ron Lee Haskell, shot seven family members -- two adults and five children.

Earlier reports from authorities stated the young victims were Haskell's children. Deputy constables now say Haskell is a relative, but not the children's father.


The two adults and three of the children were found dead upon arrival, according to deputies. One child was transported via LifeFlight to the hospital, where they died. A 15-year-old girl was also transported via LifeFlight and remains in critical condition at the hospital.

Deputies tell us Haskell arrived at the residence wearing a FedEx delivery shirt. He is accused of shooting a 13-year-old boy, a 4-year-old boy, a 9-year-old girl and a 7-year-old girl.

According to deputies Haskell also shot a 39-year-old man and a 33-year-old woman.

Haskell then fled the scene.

When emergency crews arrived, deputies say the 15-year-old girl, who suffered a gunshot wound to the head, was able to tell them who the shooter was and that she believed he was headed to another residence at Anvil and Ella to possibly attack more family members.

[...]

Haskell, holding a gun to his head, sat in his vehicle for hours surrounded by deputies with guns drawn and at least a dozen patrol cars.

A large SWAT vehicle rammed into the suspect's car, crushing the front bumper, and stopped on top of the hood of the car. A second SWAT truck pulled directly behind the suspect's car and rammed into the back of it, preventing the car from moving.

[...]
Haskell is facing six counts of capital murder.

The cops have hostage negotiators and folks that try to "talk someone down." I think that in cases like this, they should have someone to encourage the perp to pull that trigger so that taxpayers won't be paying for their sorry ass for years to come. :devil:
 
He had plenty of courage to pull the trigger numerous times on innocent children and people, but when it came to his own he just ' held the gun to his head' and nothing came of it ...like the big man he is. Bastard.
 
I give a lot of credit to the police negotiators because I would have told him to pull the fucking trigger and do society a favor.

Police charged Haskell, 33, with shooting and killing six people during a grisly domestic attack.​
An ex-FedEx employee accused of shooting a family of seven in their Houston-area home used his delivery uniform to get into the house

Ronald Lee Haskell was charged with killing a married couple and four of their children execution-style after he barged into the family’s Harris County home dressed in a FedEx shirt
[...]
The 33-year-old allegedly shot a seventh victim, a 15-year-old girl, who survived the grisly attack and called 911 to report the shooter’s plan to kill more people
[...]
Police identified 39-year-old real estate agent Stephen Robert Stay and his wife, 34-year-old Katie, as the adult victims.

The names of the children have not been released.

Officers believe the rampage was a domestic attack stemming from a divorce.

Haskell was apparently married to, and separated from, a relative of the family, and the 15-year-old had been his niece through that marriage.

The shooting was "obviously a domestic situation that went south,"

Haskell went to the home Wednesday afternoon looking for his ex-wife,

He was wearing a FedEx driver's uniform

While he once worked for the company, he had not been employed by the shipping giant since January,

He found the 15-year-old girl there home alone, so he left, NBC News reported.

He returned later in the day, this time forcing himself inside the home. He tied up the teen girl, who then realized who he was, and waited for the rest of the family to come home
[...]
They returned about 7 p.m. Again, he asked where his ex-wife was.
When they said they didn’t know, he started his execution-style rampage
[...]
Haskell allegedly lined up the family members and shot all seven in the back of the head.

Five of the victims died at the scene: Stephen Stay, Katie Stay, a 13-year old boy, and two girls ages 9 and 7. A 4-year-old boy died later at a hospital.
The attack’s lone survivor, the 15-year-old girl, suffered a fractured skull. She remains in critical condition
[...]
The teenager called 911 after Haskell fled the house. She identified the shooter to police as her ex-uncle and said he was on his way to kill her grandparents
[...]
Police rushed to the next target’s home to intercept the alleged mission.
He showed up moments later
[...]
During that stalemate, the suspect, surrounded by police officers, put a gun to his head several times but never pulled the trigger.

He finally surrendered about 10 p.m.

Neighbors described the victims as a close-knit family.

"It was a Mormon family,

"They were very sweet and their kids were very shy. This is a sad, sad day."

PUSSY MOTHERFUCKING POS PIG FACED ASSHOLE! He should have killed himself, he's gonna die anyway seeing as this happened in Texas. Coward.
 
Just speculating here, but husband and wife, one of whom is a sibling to this guy's ex-wife, are watching her kids, must've had at least one of their own there as well (the 15yo), and unless all 4 kids belong to those two, it's possible that some may have been his own children??
It will b standing room only at his execution.
 
I think, judging from that photo, they were all the victims children, aka, this psycho's nieces and nephews through his deteriorated marriage. One article I read said that his estranged wife's sister (who I'm assuming is Katie Stay) helped his wife leave him and move to the Houston area. I'm wondering if this was revenge for helping his wife leave him. I can't even imagine how she feels right now, her sister, brother in law, and nieces and nephews dead by the hand of her crazy fucking husband.

He should've pulled that damn trigger one more time in his car.

LOGAN — A man accused of forcing his way into his former sister-in-law's Texas home and killing her, her husband and four of their five children has a history of domestic violence problems from when he recently lived in northern Utah.

As part of his divorce with his former wife, Ronald Lee Haskell was ordered by a Utah judge to undergo a psychological evaluation and was not allowed to visit his children by himself until a therapist could determine whether he was "mentally and emotionally stable enough to care for the children," according to court records.

Haskell, 33, was a "recent resident" of the Logan area and had "several involvements" with Logan police and was incarcerated in the Cache County Jail in 2008, the Cache County Sheriff's Office confirmed Thursday.

Haskell lived on Hampton Place in Logan from July 2006 until November 2013. He was living in a basement apartment in the area of 400 North and 400 West in Logan from July 2013 until October 2013.

Ronald and Melanie Haskell were building a home in Smithfield, but Melanie Haskell tried to escape her abusive marriage before it was finished, neighbors said.

According to Utah state court records, Ronald Haskell pleaded guilty to simple assault in a domestic violence-related incident in 2008. Haskell took a plea in abeyance in the case.

"Melanie Haskell stated her husband Ronald had (dragged) her by her hair and struck her in the head, and then did it again in front of the children," according to Logan police.

The abuse allegedly continued after the court case ended.

"She was tired of him beating her up and her children witnessing it. And when she saw her oldest child start to become violent, she chose to move into a (Community Abuse Prevention Service Agency) home for their safety," said Jolyn Young, who was one of Melanie Haskell's neighbors in Utah.

Logan police also reported that Ronald Haskell called officers in September of 2009.

"He stated his wife had left and left a note, which made him concerned for her safety. A short time later, he returned with his wife in the car and told officers he was taking her to the hospital. In August of 2013 Melanie reported a protective order violation. It was stated Ronald had made threats against her to his attorney. In October of 2013, Melanie reported a possible protective order violation because Ronald had shown up at one of the children’s elementary schools. This protective order was actually served on him the day of the complaint. Neither protective order violations were prosecuted."

The Haskells were married in California in 2002. They separated in June of 2013. They have four children together between the ages of 3 and 11.

In July of 2013, Melanie Haskell filed for a protective order against her husband in 1st District Court in Logan. In August she filed for divorce. In October, both parties agreed to drop the protective order and enter into a "mutual restraining order."

"The parties agree that Ms. Haskell will have primary physical custody with the parties having joint legal custody," court records state.

Ronald Haskell was also ordered, as part of the settlement, to only have supervised visitations with his children until his therapist could determine that he was no longer a "threat" to them, according to court records.

"Until respondent receives a psychological evaluation and provides documentation from his evaluator that he is mentally and emotionally stable enough to care for the children on his own, respondent’s parent time shall be supervised," the Haskells' divorce decree states.

So, this guy was clearly a loose cannon. Do we know if the gun was his, and legally owned?
 
They were Mormons, I wonder if that had a lot to do with her staying so long. Mormons especially believe in marriage is forever, they even seal spouses to each other so in the afterlife you will still be together.

I don't doubt for one minute that the cops turned the other way if there were domestic violence reports.

He has devastated this family, he took away so much from his ex wife.
 
Teen saved others after Ronald Lee Haskell's 'execution-style' murders of 6 family members near Houston: grandfather
Cassidy Stay, 15, was shot in the head but survived and called 911 after Ronald Lee Haskell, her 33-year-old uncle by marriage, allegedly killed her four siblings and both parents in their Harris County, Texas home Wednesday night. 'She is our hero,' the girl's grandfather said Thursday after learning he had been targeted by the deranged man. Haskell was recently divorced from Cassidy Stay's aunt, Melanie Haskell. Ronald Haskell's mother filed a restraining order against the man just one week ago after he tied her up. And the alleged killer had been arrested in Utah in 2008 for beating his wife, cops said.

What that 15 yo girl did was incredible. She was shot in the back of the head but still managed to call 911 in time for them to thwart the murders of her grandparents and god knows who else... She is a hero.

So, this guy was clearly a loose cannon. Do we know if the gun was his, and legally owned?
Not sure about their respective states, but in mine, to possess a concealed weapons permit, u can't have an active or expired (in the last 7 years) restraining order against u.

But that doesn't mean he didn't bring his weapon from home, legally or illegally.
 
Sad to say but I imagine that even though he is going to get the needle this POS is probably happier then a clam at high tide knowing the pain he has caused his ex-wife.
It also shows once again the answer to the question many people have about domestic violence victims and why she/he won't leave an abusive relationship.
Many times they can and will hurts other if they can stick it to their ex.
