Police were searching for a gunman believed to have shot and killed five Hondurans after they asked him to stop late-night target practice that was keeping their baby awake, the local sheriff said Saturday, in the latest mass shooting to hit the US. |AFP
“In my opinion, they were actually trying to take care of the babies and keep them babies alive,” Capers told ABC’s Houston station KTRK.
Deputies found “several others in critical condition from multiple gunshot wounds,” the sheriff’s office said in a Facebook post. Three were hospitalized. “All the victims were from Honduras,” Capers told reporters, adding that 10 people had been in the house at the time. Texas authorities said an arrest warrant had been issued for Francisco Oropeza, a 39-year-old Mexican national, charging him with five counts of murder.“We’ve got his Mexican consulate card,” Capers said, adding that a security system at the victims’ house “captured him coming up to the front door with a weapon.”
