Police in McKinney are investigating after a married couple in their 70s was found dead inside their home and their adult son was shot by officers during a welfare check Sunday morning.

Officers were called to a residence on Dunster Drive after family members reported they had not heard from Leonard Ragan, 73, and his wife, Jackie Ragan, 72, for several days.

When officers entered the home, they located the two victims in the living room and then encountered the couple’s son, 34-year-old Bryce Ragan, armed with a firearm in a bedroom. Police say an officer-involved shooting followed, and Bryce Ragan was taken to a hospital in stable condition; no officers were injured.

Authorities have not released causes of death for Leonard and Jackie Ragan, and the investigation remains active as detectives continue to gather evidence. McKinney police and the Texas Rangers are both involved in the ongoing inquiry, and additional details are expected as the case develops.
