“Mass Shooting in San Jacinto County Leaves Four Dead and Two Children Found Alive”

According to the first elements given by the sheriff, the man was practicing shooting in his garden when neighbors asked him to stop the noise at night so that a baby could sleep, which would have prompted him to turn the weapon against them.

Called for “harassment” and then for shooting, sheriff’s officers in San Jacinto County, in the south-east of this American state, found four lifeless bodies on the spot. Four people were taken to hospital, including an 8-year-old child who also died.

Two children found safe and sound

Among the ten Hondurans who were in the house, two children were found alive, hidden under the bodies of two women in a bedroom. All of the victims were shot “like an execution, basically in the head,” Sheriff Greg Capers told local ABC station KTRK.

The suspect, on the run, is “a Mexican man”, declared the sheriff in a press briefing broadcast by the local channel KHOU 11. Wanted, he is the subject of an arrest warrant and has been charged with murder.

This news item is part of a tragic series of similar events in the United States, where firearms are wreaking havoc. Earlier this month, a black teenager was shot and seriously injured after knocking on the wrong door from a home in Missouri.
