The man meanwhile took off in a green colored Honda sport utility vehicle with paper tags. Police know his name but did not find him right away.
They said the suspect had been arguing with his wife when he pulled out a gun and shot her in the hand.
The mother-in-law then intervened and was shot during a struggle with the man for the gun, police said. She suffered life-threatening wounds and was rushed to an area hospital.
Officers later removed two young children from the home and turned them over to relatives. It appears they were inside the home at the time of the shootings but they were not physically hurt.
