Texas family called police 5 times before shooting spree that killed 5 |
Despite a search involving hundreds of law enforcement personnel from multiple jurisdictions, the suspect in a Texas shooting rampage remains on the loose. Before the shooting began, Wilson Garcia said he asked his neighbor, who was shooting a gun in his yard late at night, to shoot farther away from his home because his 1-month-old son was sleeping. Garcia called police when the man refused. The family made four more calls to police within 10 minutes. Garcia's wife, Sonia Argentina Guzman, 25, was the first person shot. Garcia's 9-year-old son also was killed. San Jacinto County Sheriff Greg Capers explained the delayed police response in the town of Cleveland, about 45 miles north of Houston, saying he had only three officers covering 700 square miles. Here's the latest on the deadly shooting. | Mass shooting survivor Wilson Garcia, center, holds a young girl during a vigil for his son Daniel Enrique Laso, 9, on Sunday in Cleveland, Texas. David J.

Another bank bites the dust |
Regulators seized troubled First Republic Bank early Monday and sold all of its deposits and most of its assets to JPMorgan Chase in a bid to head off further banking turmoil. San Francisco-based First Republic is the third midsize bank to fail in two months, and the second-biggest bank failure in U.S. history, behind only Washington Mutual, which collapsed during the 2008 financial crisis. First Republic has struggled since the March collapses of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank and investors and depositors had grown increasingly worried it might not survive because of its high amount of uninsured deposits and exposure to low interest rate loans. Here's what to know. |
