Five people are dead after being shot in a home by a suspect armed with AR-15 style rifle, police say.
The incident occurred at approximately 11:31 p.m. local time when officials from the San Jacinto County Sheriff’s Office received a call about harassment in Cleveland, Texas -- a small town located about 55 miles north of Houston.
But when authorities arrived at the location they found several victims shot at the property, police said.
The youngest victim in the shooting was 8-years-old and two female victims were discovered in the bedroom lying on top of two surviving children, authorities told ABC News.
The suspect is a Mexican male armed with an AR-15 style rifle and is intoxicated, authorities say. They are looking for a Hispanic male who is approximately 5’8” tall who was last seen wearing blue jeans with a black shirt and work boots and is described as having short black hair.
“The Mexican male subject, he has been known to shoot his 223 out in his front yard, which is evident by the shell casings that are laying in the front yard,” said the San Jacinto County Sheriff’s Office.
At least 10 people were in the home when police arrived on scene and all of the victims were between the ages of eight and 40-years-old.
Locals in the Cleveland, Texas, area are being told to “stay inside [and] stay clear” of the crime scene until the investigation has concluded.

Bad narrative, story is dropped, 1..2..3
Mexican citizen with AR (assault rifle!) commits mass murder likely returns to Mexico. Gang or mentally ill or both.
Maybe send US troops to track him down? Bring him back, dead or alive. Well, dead, just verify his carcass but don’t add transportation and burial costs to the US taxpayer.
Yes, absolutely! And Hondurans, etc. Deport them all.
When did AR-15s become an instrument of crime? Answer- When non-whites and gays started acquiring them.
Well that narrows it down. They just described about 30% of the population in South Texas.
I saw the article on the fix news website and it said he shot them with a “.223 rifle”. They just can’t say the name.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Gunfire at a huge prom after-party at a home in Texas injured nine teenagers, and a second shooting in a nearby city is being investigated for a possible connection, officials said.
Sheriff’s deputies in Jasper County, in East Texas, arrived in the wee hours of Sunday at a home where about 250 people were partying, authorities said. They found nine victims with gunshot wounds that didn’t appear to be life-threatening, according to a statement by the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office.
Eight people were taken in personal vehicles to Jasper Memorial Hospital, and at least one of them was transferred to a hospital in nearby Beaumont, Jasper County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Karli Cherry said. One person did not go to the hospital, she said.
*******
And the beat goes down and round and round.
So Mexican national in possession of an “AR15-ish” rifle, advertising that fact by firing it in the front yard, and nothing is done? Gosh, I guess we need more laws NOT to enforce.
True.
I watched a horde of messkins come out of an upstairs apartment back around 1989 when I was living in San Dimas, CA while sitting in my car one morning. I counted 23 leaving, then I left. No idea how many actually lived there, but there was an INS raid a few weeks later and the apt. was rented out to a couple of University of La Verne college students and it got SO loud my wife and I moved to Claremont.
At least the illegals were quiet. Then.
Wow. Well, it shouldn’t be too hard to find a drunk, illegal Mexican in Texas.
This 223 Remington ballistics chart shows 73 grain Hornady FTX Critical Defense (HP) rounds with a 100 yard zero out of a 24 inch barrel. Its flat trajectory and stupid high-velocity make it the better choice for these varmints and predators when comparing it to the 308 Winchester.
ammo.com Firing a lower grain bullet weight really makes the 223 Rem ideal for small game like groundhogs, prairie dogs, coyotes, and smaller feral hogs.
The first difference is the higher pressure level of the 5.56 NATO cartridge which runs at approximately 58,000 psi. A 223 Remington is loaded to approximately 55,000 psi.
We are going to have to start “disappearing” FJB’s undocumented voters or be disappeared by them.
The guy routinely was shooting “celebratory gunfire” in his front yard, and no one thought it important enough to have police / sheriff’s deputies deal with him?
Do not know how close the nearest neighbor is.
I shoot in my front yard, back yard, side yard.
Thousand rounds a year.
If someone called the sheriff’s office they would just be laughed at.
Arm up and be prepared.
It’s time to shoot first and ask questions later.
Only those not here legally.
We need to ban/return/incarcerate all illegal aliens. We also need laws that will extremely punish those who 'own/carry' illegal weapons; more extreme punishment for those who 'fire' illegal weapons; and up to capital punishment for those who 'sell' illegal arms.
Well I guess they would all be a little less dead if he had used a hunting rifle instead.
What are the odds that we’re going to ever be told if this man is illegal alien?
