DALLAS (March 10, 2010)—A former Dallas city attorney who shot a father and son Monday inside their financial business in a North Dallas office building died early Wednesday afternoon from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Sr. Cpl. Kevin Janse said.

Robert Mustard, 60, shot himself Monday after shooting Richard Smith, 66, and Christopher Smith, 39.

Had he lived, Mustard would have faced aggravated assault charges, but Janse says those charges won't be filed now.

Richard Smith was shot four times in the legs.

His son was shot in the head and neck.

Both were in stable condition Wednesday.

Authorities believe Mustard was upset about financial dealings.

He worked for the City of Dallas in the 1980s.
