CLEVELAND, Texas (AP) — A man whose wife and 9-year-old son were killed with three other people north of Houston says the attack began after he asked a neighbor to shoot his gun further away from his home. Wilson Garcia said the attack began 10 to 20 minutes after the man refused his request. Those killed included Garcia’s son Daniel Enrique Laso. Students at Laso’s elementary school set up a small monument in his memory in their classroom on Monday, and a memorial including flowers and stuffed animals grew at the foot of a flagpole in front of the school. Extra counselors were at the campus.
