Latest US mass shooting leaves five people dead

A man in Texas has killed five of his neighbours, including an 8-year-old, after being asked to stop firing a rifle in his yard.

A man near Houston who was angered by a noise complaint for firing a rifle in his yard late at night has allegedly turned the weapon on his neighbours, killing at least five people in “execution-style” shootings before fleeing the scene.

The incident occurred at around 11:30 pm on Friday in Cleveland, Texas, located about 50 miles northeast of Houston. Three adults and a teenager were found dead at the scene, while an 8-year-old boy was pronounced deceased after being transported to a hospital, the San Jacinto County Sheriff’s Office said on Saturday.

Two female victims were found in an upstairs bedroom, with their bodies shielding two surviving children. “In my opinion, they were actually trying to take care of the babies and keep them babies alive,” San Jacinto County Sheriff Greg Capers told local ABC News affiliate KTRK-TV. Three other people in the house were seriously injured.

The violence allegedly began after a noise complaint by a neighbour of the gunman, who was shooting an AR-15 style rifle in his yard. “One of the victims came out of the house and said, ‘Hey, we have a small baby that’s trying to sleep,’ and the man said, ‘I’ll shoot out in my front yard, do what I want to in my own residence,’” Capers said.

The gunman, a Mexican national identified as 39-year-old Francisco Oropeza, then went to the neighbor’s house and opened fire, according to the sheriff. The victims were all shot in the head at close range, “almost execution-style,” Capers said. All 10 people in the house, including four or five who had moved there from Houston in recent days, were natives of Honduras.

Oropeza was known to shoot a .223-caliber rifle, and authorities had previously received reports about him firing the weapon in his yard. At least three weapons were found in his home. As of Saturday morning, he was believed to be pinned down in a wooded area about 10 to 12 miles from the crime scene, and officers were closing in on him, Capers said.

There have been at least 18 US shootings this year in which four or more people were killed, according to a database maintained by the Associated Press and USA Today.

  1. The perp was a drunken drunk and police had been out there on numerous occasions. I guess they couldn’t do anything because he wasn’t American.

  2. This is what happens when Biden’s ‘Open Borders’ are allowed…
    Most of what is coming over the borders of the U.S. are military-age males, and this is not being reported except on alternative news sites.
    Americans have amassed an average of three firearms per person, consisting of pump shotguns, a handgun, and a high powered scoped rifle. Those who are bunking-in with relatives have been combining their incomes (what little they may earn) and using left-over $$ to pay for survival gear and freeze-dried food.
    Expect everything to hit at once; a retaliatory attack on the West for using depleted uranium on Russian soil, the confirmed report via Hal Turner that Russian reporter Maria Zakharova, has also confirmed that Americans are in the Ukraine with other Western NATO Nations, and China hitting the West Coast of the U.S. while Taiwan is invaded.
    Americans will face a Civil War with the communist racists organisations such as the BLM & Antifa, the Zionist Agitprop by the ADL, AIPAC and the ACLU, and the gangs from Central & South America (Hispanic Drug Cartels, MS-13, ) all raiding the suburbs and rural areas of the U.S. in a combined fashion.
    The goal is a Zio-Bolshevik War against the White Race in the U.S., similar to the stoking of the same in European Nations which has not stopped!
    The patience of many in the U.S. White populations have had enough, they are ready, they know it will be an evil and nasty war, and at this point, many Americans ore of the quiet opinion that they would rather have Vladimir Putin as a Statesman President, but they won’t admit this as they might get a knock on the door at 12 AM…!

  3. The shooter was not a ‘Texan’, but a Hispanic from Honduras, as were all of his victims.
    Imported Hispanic third world dicotomies are exactly that; dysfunction that is then perpetrated on the soil of another nation / state.
    Many Hispanics can and are oftentimes more dangerous than the feral blacks running amok like a pack of coked-up baboons! Case in point- the turf wars that are now gobbling-up vast amounts of real estate and communities in the proposed ‘Aztlan’ area.
    The Hispanics call for the return of Aztlan (the southwestern portion of the U.S., Texas and California) and this may happen in due course because of the massive illegal immigration of the Hispanic hordes crossing U.S. borders illegally. For a preview of what a small portion of what this will look like, see the movie clip from ‘Falling Down’ where Michael Douglas is confronted by Hispanics on his way home, and later in their drive-by shootings.
    To be fair, many Hispanics are productive and law-abiding, but they are of the Pre-Castro generation, and those who have escaped Cuba post-1962 have a frame of reference of the ‘before and after’ scenarios, but the heavily tattooed MS13 animals flowing out of Central America have destroyed El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, and Columbia, and those trying to escape that in their home countries are desperate to reach the U.S. in their ‘Caravans’. Problem is, the same gang members who have destroyed those people’s home countries are blended-in with the Caravan, and once they arrive in the U.S., the drugs, murders, and intimidation begin again in earnest. Add in the populations from the Caribbean Basin and you have the natural environment that is ripe for corruption, violence and murders.
    Many Hispanics of all types have taken over a good portion of Florida, Texas, Arizona and New Mexico.
    In Miami, there is a quiet business and influence struggle between the Catholic Hispanics and the Zionist J3w$ for control of the commerce, and that at times gets nasty in the Administrative Courts. This is repeated in the states that have a sizable Hispanic population.
    Overall, Miami’s Golden Age was between the 1940’s to the 1970’s. It had a revival in the 1980’s, but that was the last of the ‘Northern Investors ‘ (J3wi$h Bankster investment money). South Florida is sinking economically, geo-physically, and and the predictive programming of movies showing Miami under water is already out there. Businesses that were once locally-owned and productive have given way to op-shops, taco stands, and Haitian restaurants. Mum & Pop hotels are now rented by the hour for drug distribution, prostitution, and human / child trafficking. (see YouTube ‘Escape from Palm Beach’) The roads are cracked and pot-holed, infrastructure from the 1950’s is failing, and the Cat 4-5 hurricanes will contribute to the decay of the area.
    There are no high paying jobs there, the cost of living is atrocious, and taxes have hit the roof!
    Living conditions are miserable overall from the heat, humidity, poverty, and from the over-reach of the abusive Law Enforcement.
    One should see the movie ‘The Florida Project’ before going there to vacation. But, Miami isn’t alone; San Antonio and many Texas cities are suffering as well. One can only take a ‘wait & see’ attitude on how the coming Civil War there will vector, and when the Chinese will invade with the Russians.
    That time may be closer than we think…!
