Three young children survived the attack after being shielded by two of the victims, authorities told local media.
“When we got here, the two females in the bedroom were laying on top of two of three younger (surviving) children,” San Jacinto County Sheriff Greg Capers said, according to KTRK.
A SWAT team from a neighboring county and the Texas Department of Corrections have sent personnel to assist in the manhunt for Oropeza.
