“She was shielding the oldest one,” Seahorn told the station, referencing Goff’s attempt to protect her 13-year-old son.
“Goff was struck by the gunfire, however, her children were not injured,” according to Houston authorities.
The mother was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
Goff leaves behind three children, according to KRTK.
