Authorities widened search for the suspect after the killing of five of his neighbours in the town of Cleveland in Texas. San Jacinto County Sheriff Greg Capers said that the police were searching for 38-year-old Francisco Oropeza who could now be as large as “10 or 20 miles". The gunman remained at large more than 15 hours after the shooting in which five including eight-year-old boy and a teenage girl were killed. When the family asked Francisco Oropeza to stop firing rounds in his yard because they were trying to sleep, he fatally shot his neighbours, authorities said. Francisco Oropeza used an AR-style rifle and “all of his rounds were from the neck up, so basically in the head,” the police informed.
