A shackled Ronald Lee Haskell was standing before a state district judge today during a probable cause hearing when he fell to the ground. Deputies lifted him to his feet and the 33-year-old Haskell stood for about another minute before collapsing again.

Authorities say Haskell was searching for his ex-wife Wednesday when he shot the family in their suburban Houston home.
