US: Man shoots dead five neighbours after they complain of noise

Digital Desk: The Associated Press reported on Saturday that a neighbour in Cleveland, Texas, killed five people, including an 8-year-old boy after they had complained about the noise.

The authorities have issued a warning that the suspect, 38-year-old Francisco Oropeza, may still be might be armed. The incident happened late on a Friday.

According to The New York Times, Wilson Garcia, a survivor of the incident, claimed that he had asked Oropeza to cease firing his rifle in his yard while his family was attempting to put a newborn to sleep. Oropeza declined the invitation, went after Garcia to his house, and started firing.

According to Greg Capers, the sheriff for San Jacinto County, there were ten persons living there; four of them died at the scene. According to The Guardian, the 8-year-old passed away in a hospital.

According to Capers, "everyone was shot from the neck up, almost execution-style."

Oropeza's location has not been discovered, according to Caper's office, despite a protracted manhunt. Following a public alert, "He is considered armed and dangerous; do not approach or make an arrest attempt."

The episode occurs as a result of a recent spike in mass shootings in the US. Three nine-year-old children were among the six people slain on March 28 in a shooting at a private school in Nashville.
