Houston: Police have arrested a man who is suspected to have shot dead five of his neighbours near Houston city of the US on Friday.

Francisco Oropesa, 38, was arrested in the town of Cut and Shoot, Texas, in a home hiding "underneath some laundry", Sheriff Greg Capers was quoted as saying by BBC.
