The massive manhunt intensifies for a Texas suspect who killed several of his neighbors.
Just before midnight on Friday, the shooter was asked by neighbors to stop shooting his rifle in the yard because a baby was trying to sleep. 38-year-old Francisco Oropeza refused, leading to an escalated confrontation. Oropeza then invaded the home and opened fire, killing five victims between the ages of 8 and 31. He fled before police arrived.
