Arizona Mother Kills Her Two Children and Herself After Shooting at Bar

Separate Glendale and Phoenix investigations are under way after police said they found no prior domestic‑violence reports.

Overview

  • Police say 38‑year‑old Andrea Clarice Davis fired shots at her husband and a 36‑year‑old woman outside a Glendale bar before returning home and killing her children and herself.
  • Officers forced entry to the Phoenix home after the husband received threatening texts and a photo showing one child bleeding, and they found the mother and two children with apparent gunshot wounds.
  • Phoenix police identified the victims as a 10‑year‑old boy and an 18‑month‑old girl, and investigators recovered a handgun from the residence during a search warrant.
  • Glendale Police will handle the bar shooting while Phoenix Police investigate the murder‑suicide, and officials say there were no prior domestic‑violence or behavioral‑health calls to the family’s home.
  • Family members have started a GoFundMe for the children’s father and local advocates are citing the case in calls for new child‑protection laws related to custody disputes.
