Five members of a family including an eight-year-old boy have been killed in a shooting in Texas after the family asked a man to stop firing rounds in his garden because they were trying to sleep, authorities said.
Authorities are searching for the 39-year-old suspect after the shooting in the town of Cleveland, around 45 miles north of Houston, San Jacinto County sheriff Greg Capers said.The San Jacinto County Sheriff's office told ABC News the suspect was a Mexican man who was intoxicated and armed.Two of the victims, who are all believed to be from Honduras, were found lying over two children inside.
"The Honduran ladies that were laying over these children were doing it in such an effort as to protect the child," Mr Capers said. He said the confrontation came after family members walked up to the fence and asked the suspect to stop shooting rounds. The suspect responded by telling them it was his property, according to the sheriff, and one person in the house took a video of the suspect walking up to the front door with the rifle.Mr Capers said the victims were between the ages of eight and about 40 years old.
