SAN ANTONIO — Pfc. Carla Santisteban returned to Fort Hood from Afghanistan at 4:24 a.m. Tuesday.

“In Fort Hood!” she wrote on Facebook.

Three hours later, her husband, Rouhad Ahamd Ezzeddine, and their two daughters Leila Rouhad, 9, and Zeinab Rouhad, 4, were dead.

The Army's Criminal Investigation Command said Ezzeddine, a 43-year-old civilian, was believed to have killed the girls.

So far CID isn't saying how that happened or provide details of the circumstances, but authorities say the girls and their father were found dead at 7:15 a.m. Tuesday in a home in Fort Hood's Pershing Park.

The Army late Thursday identified the father as the likely killer in a murder-suicide case.

“This is a terrible tragedy for the mother and families of these children,” said Maj. Gen. Anthony Ierardi, Fort Hood senior commander and commanding general of 1st Cavalry Division. “We are doing everything possible to care for the family in this time of profound grief and loss.”

The CID statement said the incident occurred in the wife's residence. The Army said Santisteban is assigned to a support battalion with the 1st Cavalry Division's 2nd Brigade Combat Team.
