Coppell Mayor kills daughter then self in apparent murder/suicide.  Police in Coppell, Texas, say the town’s mayor, Jayne Peters, shot and killed her 19-year-old daughter Tuesday evening before turning the gun on herself.

The apparent murder-suicide was discovered Tuesday when authorities went to Peters’ home after the mayor did not show up for a city meeting, Fox News reported.

Today, the Dallas County Medical Examiner’s office confirmed that Peters had killed herself after killing her daughter, The Associated Press said.

Corinne Peters, the mayor’s daughter, had just graduated from Coppell High School. She was to begin her freshman year at the University of Texas at Austin in the fall.

Following the 2008 death of Donald Peters — the mayor’s husband and Corinne Peters’ father — from cancer, the mother and daughter lived alone in Coppell, an affluent suburb of Dallas. (Read More).
