A 23-year-old woman was fatally shot in Seabrook, with two children found unharmed; police suggest she knew her assailant.

Residents at a Seabrook apartment were asked to stay inside after local law enforcement agencies were called to the scene following reports of gunshots.

Residents at the apartment complex at 2401 Repsdorph Road have been urged to stay inside their apartments with their doors locked.

Seabrook police lifted the shelter-in-place for residents at the Teakwood apartment complex but are still searching for a suspect after rescuing two children from a unit where a woman was found dead.
