Staff Report


KYLE — The Kyle Police Department (KPD) is investigating two deaths inside a residence in the 300 block of Tower Drive. 


On Thursday, June 23 at approximately 9:20 p.m., dispatch received a call indicating that one person was shot and possibly deceased while another adult and child were in the home.  


The adult caller was armed with a firearm and was not cooperative with dispatch as they tried to get him to follow instructions and provide information.  


Police, fire and EMS were immediately dispatched, and a SWAT response was initiated. Officers arriving on scene assessed the situation, considered the immediate danger to the child, and made forced entry into the residence.


Officers located the child physically unharmed and removed him to safety. They then cleared the residence and located two deceased adults in an upstairs bedroom. The adults have been identified as Shayne Robert Loupe, 43, and Lauren Rachel Kelley, 36, both of Kyle.  


Hays County Justice of the Peace Precinct 2 Beth Smith pronounced both deaths at the scene and ordered autopsies.  


The Kyle Police Department is conducting an investigation into the deaths. This is an isolated incident and police believe there is no danger to residents.
