The suspect died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
He said the Texas Rangers — the state's elite police force — would be taking over the investigation.
A motive for the shooting was not immediately clear.
“The main focus is on how and why this happened,” Spillane told The Associated Press.
A woman was found dead inside a house and a man was found dead outside, Sgt. Rick Alexander told WFAA-TV, speaking at a press conference late Saturday.
