A man who lost his wife and 9-year-old son in a mass shooting in their Texas neighborhood has opened up about the frightening incident and his wife's courage. At a vigil on Sunday, Wilson Garcia spoke to reporters about the suspect, Francisco Oropesa, who was shooting his gun in his yard on Friday.
Garcia's month-old son was crying, so he went over to Oropesa to "respectfully" ask him to move farther away from their home. After Oropresa refused, Garcia's family called police five times, but before they arrived, Oropesa ran toward Garcia's house.
"I told my wife, 'Get inside. This man has loaded his weapon," Garcia told reporters, according to the Associated Press. "My wife told me to go inside because 'he won't fire at me, I'm a woman.'"
