Authorities say an 8-year-old child was among five people killed in a shooting at a home in southeast Texas late Friday night
This image provided by KTRK shows the scene of a shooting early Saturday, April 29, 2023 in Cleveland, Texas. A man went next door with a rifle and began shooting his neighbors, killing several including an 8-year-old inside the house, after the family asked him to stop firing rounds in his yard because they were trying to sleep, authorities said Saturday.
“Everyone that was shot was shot from the neck up, almost execution-style,” Capers said during a news conference at the scene. “The Honduran ladies that were laying over these children were doing it in such an effort as to protect the child,” according to Capers, who said a total of three blood-covered children were found in the home but were determined to be uninjured after being taken to a hospital.The confrontation followed family members walking up to the fence and asking the suspect to stop shooting rounds, Capers said.
Authorities have previously been to the suspect's home, according to Capers. “Deputies have come over and spoke with him about him shooting his gun in the yard,” he said.
