A Texas man with a rifle fatally shot five of his neighbours, including an eight-year-old boy, after they asked him to stop firing rounds in his yard because they were trying to sleep. 9News
San Jacinto County Sheriff Greg Capers said Oropeza used an AR-style rifle, and as the search for him dragged into Saturday evening, authorities had widened their efforts to as far as 16 to 32 kilometres from the murder scene.
He said two of the victims were found in a bedroom laying over two children in an apparent attempt to shield them. The confrontation followed the neighbours walking up to the fence and asking the suspect to stop shooting rounds, Capers said. Rene Arevalo Senior, who lives a few houses down, said he heard gunshots around midnight but didn't think anything of it."They get home and start drinking in their backyards and shooting out there."
