On Friday, April 29 at 11:30 P.M. in Cleveland, Texas Francisco Oropeza, a 38-year-old male, opened fire on a family shooting 5 people with 4 dead at the scene and one dying in the hospital later on including an 8-year-old boy. Oropeza is still on the run. Officials say the family went over to Oropeza’s house to try and get him to stop firing his AR-15 which his neighbors said he did “frequently”; the family told him that they have a baby trying to sleep and he said “I’ll do what I want in my front yard” and opened fire on the family. Neighbors say he frequently drank and shot his AR-15 outside at random.
