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.
