Authorities say a 10-year-old boy shot by his mother during a standoff at a Texas welfare office has died.
Laredo police spokesman Joe Baeza says Timothy Grimmer died Thursday at a San Antonio hospital. His 12-year-old sister died of her wounds on Wednesday.
The Grimmer family had recently moved from near Zanesville to Texas.
Police say their mother, Rachelle Grimmer, shot the children and then killed herself Monday following a standoff with police at a welfare office where they had been denied food stamps.
The Texas Department of Health and Human Services says the agency rejected Rachelle Grimmer's application because she didn't submit enough information.
