Shooting at Toddler's Birthday Party in Texas- Mia Murphy
On Sunday October 14, 2018 a shooting occurred ending with 4 dead and 1 injured at a toddler's birthday party. The shooting took place in the backyard of Juan Espinoza Sr. while he was celebrating his grandsons one year old birthday. Juan was shot along with his other three grandsons Juan Sandoval III, 20; Jeremy Sandoval, 22; Nicky Sandoval, 25. The father of Juan, Jeremy, and Nicky was airlifted to a local hospital in critical condition. Sgt. Nathan Brandley took in Ronnie Rodriguez as a suspect. The shooting had occurred because of an argument that had escalated very quickly. Ronnie is now being in San Patricio County jail with no chargers filed at the moment. The suspect wasn't a random person to the family, in fact he had grown up with them.

This is really sad! Usually the shootings we hear about today, are mainly random acts of violence, so the part I found shocking was that the victims and the attacker grew up with each other! I wonder what his motive behind killing these 4 people were
