Suspect in Cleveland, Texas, Mass Shooting Arrested

HeadlineMay 03, 2023

Texas authorities have arrested the suspect in last week’s mass shooting in the town of Cleveland which killed five people, including a 9-year-old child. Francisco Oropesa is accused of going on the shooting spree against his neighbors after being asked to stop firing his rifle because it was keeping a 1-month-old baby awake.

Meanwhile, a 13-year-old student opened fire at his school in Belgrade, Serbia, killing eight children and a security guard in a rare mass shooting in the Balkan nation.
