There has been another mass shooting in Texas, USA. A gunman entered a house in the city of Cleveland and opened fire at midnight on Friday local time. At least five people including one child and two women lost their lives.
This information was revealed in the report of several American media including US Today, and the New York Times, yesterday.
The police have not yet arrested the gunman. A reward of five million US dollars has been announced for catching him.
The 39-year-old gunman was shooting in his backyard around midnight Friday, state police said. Feeling disturbed at that time, the victim`s family asked him to stop firing, saying that he was sleeping. After that, the gunman opened fire at them.
Cleveland city authorities said the gunman is of Mexican descent. Officials believe he was `intoxicated` at the time of the shooting.
Police have launched a search operation for the suspected gunman.
