Gunman kills 5 neighbours who complained about shooting noise, Texas police say

By WNews 1 Min Read

A Texas man went next door with a rifle and 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, authorities said Saturday.

The suspect, identified as 38-year-old Francisco Oropeza, remained at large more than 18 hours after the shooting that began just before midnight on Friday near the small city of Cleveland, about 72 kilometres north of Houston. Some residents who live on the street said it was not uncommon to hear neighbours unwind at the end of the work week by firing off guns.
