Brenda Tucker, 21, was at her family-owned bar early Sunday in Detroit, Mich. when she took a gun, walked into a back room, and shot herself, Detroit News reported.<\/p>\n
Her uncle, Eddie Falbo, said Tucker suffered from depression. Attempts to stop her suicide failed.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe grabbed a gun, and I took it away from her head,\u201d Falbo said. \u201cOthers were talking to her. I came out the door and heard, \u2018pop.\u2019 It was terrible. There were about eight to 10 people in the bar \u2014 everyone heard it.\u201d<\/p>\n
An ambulance took her to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead. As her brother, 20-year-old Ricky Tucker, raced to the hospital to check on her, he was struck by an SUV and killed, police told the Detroit Free Press .<\/p>\n
Detroit police spokeswoman Kelly Miner said the younger sibling crossed the center line when his car collided with the SUV. The other driver suffered minor injuries and was treated at the hospital.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s just one disaster after another for this poor family,\u201d said Regina Holman, the owner of the bar. \u201cI can\u2019t imagine what it\u2019s going to be like to bury two children.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sister Amandajo Holman said she talked to her brother Ricky moments before he got in his car, according to USA Today.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter the doctors finally told us Brenda was dead, I called down to the bar to see about her cell phone, and that\u2019s when I was told Ricky had been in a car accident,\u201d she recalled.<\/p>\n
Holman left the hospital to go to the accident site, and returned to the hospital where her mom was waiting.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe just called me and asked me where I was, and I could tell in her voice that Ricky didn\u2019t make it,\u201d Holman said.<\/p>\n
This incident now marks the third death in the family in the past six months, Falbo said. The uncle said Ricky Tucker fatally shot his step-father in self-defense.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe boy \u2014 the one who just died \u2014 killed his step-dad. They were shooting back and forth, and he killed him in self-defense,\u201d Falbo said. \u201cThe police let him right out of jail, because [his step-father] was shooting at him.<\/p>\n
\u201cThree people in one family killed in six months,\u201d Falbo said. \u201cThese kids\u2019 mother is going through hell.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
