Five dead in Texas 'execution-style' shooting, suspect armed with AR-15 is on the loose

Five people are dead after being shot in a Texas home by a suspect armed with an AR-15 style rifle in a horrific series of "execution style" shootings, police said.

A manhunt is currently underway for the suspect, identified by police as 39-year-old Francisco Oropeza, according to ABC station KTRK in Houston.

A judge has issued an arrest warrant for Oropeza and assigned a $5 million bond. Authorities believe Oropeza left by walking or on a bicycle and is currently within a two mile radius of the scene, KTRK reported.

Police said the incident occurred at 11:31 p.m. local time on Friday when officials from the San Jacinto County Sheriff's Office received a call about harassment in the town of Cleveland, about 55 miles north of Houston.

When authorities arrived at the location, they found several victims shot at the property, police said. Three of the deceased were females and two were males, including the youngest, an 8-year-old boy.

Two female victims were discovered in the bedroom lying on top of two surviving children, authorities told ABC News.

Three minors were located uninjured, but covered in blood. They were transported to a local hospital.

Police said they believe the massacre occurred after neighbors asked the suspect to stop shooting his gun in the front yard because there was a baby trying to sleep. *** Police said the suspect "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."

Capers said the shooter used a .223 rifle in the shooting. Capers could not confirm how many times his deputies had been called to the shooter’s property previously.

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.

Capers believes the 10 people in the home lived together, with four to five of them just moving into the home from Houston within the last three or four days.

Residents are being told to "stay inside [and] stay clear" of the crime scene until the investigation has concluded, but do not believe the suspect, a Mexican national, is in the area.

Police did not disclose the identity of the victims but said the shootings all took place in one home, the victims were all from Honduras and that four of the victims were declared dead at the scene. The fifth victim -- an 8-year-old boy -- was taken to a hospital and he has since been pronounced dead.

Capers told KTRK all of the victims were shot from the neck up "almost execution style."

The Elites don’t care. /Captain Obvious

They have their mansions, their millions of dollars, bunkers and armed guards.

That’s why George W Bush and Joe Biden don’t care about open borders and millions of illegals.

America Last

Americans Last

The operating notion of The Uniparty.

They just need us to keep working and supply them with hundreds of billions of dollars so that they can peddle influence worldwide.

You need to stop believing Hollywood on Guns.

You’ve never shot a gun and expect to shoot someone in the leg in an adrenaline filled situation. You’re absolutely crazy if you think it’s that easy.

I’m quite experienced and I do not believe I can accurately aim for a leg in that scenario, nor would I. Empty mag Center of Mass, if the dirtbag is still moving, toss another mag in and repeat. Especially if the thug has a firearm.

Your husband has failed in his duties if he has never at least taken you to the range once, even on a .22. My wife hates anything bigger then .22, but damn well knows how to use the home defense firearms. Every training class I have enrolled in, I have brought her as well.

As the rest of America suffers, they laugh and sip cocktails with their buddies.

Food up 30%-50%?

They couldn’t care less.

They enrich themselves all the time.

I’d shoot the miscreant in his leg/s the moment the took the first step.

And then you would have wasted a bullet and wasted your life. While the bad guy is cussing you out for the owie in his leg, he's also raised his weapon and given you your worst hair day ever.

Learn to shoot. Learn to shoot *to kill*. That last one, the killing part, actually takes more brain power than shooting skills. You have to decide that you can, in fact, end someone else's life. If you can't do that, don't even pick up the gun.

I suggest some thinking and a lot of training for you. I'm a girl, my boss gave me 3 months to mull over the "killing someone" part. Just winging the bad guy only makes it worse for you.

Ask your hubby about center mass.

I see illegals in my hospital ER all the time. Hordes of them and this is in southern NJ. No insurance and they speak little or no English and brother, you and I are paying for this.

I despise these people. They have NO regard for the fact they’re entering the US illegally and unwanted and among some of the more mouthy ones they feel for some unknown reason that We The People are supposed to be on the hook for their care.

I've never shot anyone. But I wouldn't hesitate to because if someone has raised a gun at me to my way of thinking they've already put themselves on the road to their own destruction.

Democrat Elites insist no guns for the regular Joe and Jane while simultaneously they allow violent illegals and criminals to roam free.

The average Dem voter doesn’t even have a sense of survival. Must be all that legal pot they are smoking.

Paying for illegals and war

While many Americans struggle to put food on the table and pay their energy bills.

But ....... transgender pronouns. There’s the priority.

I’m 67 and not in the best of health. Neither is my wife.

I really pray the The Good Lord takes me soon.

I’ve had enough.

I’m heartbroken at the state of this great nation.
