Accused Shooter Came to U.S. As Refugee
By Breitbart. The suspect accused of shooting four people and killing a woman in Cleveland, Texas, last week was a foreign refugee who entered the United States decades ago, Breitbart News has confirmed.
Last week, 65-year-old Pavol Vido was wanted by Texas police after he allegedly shot four people, including shooting a Liberty County Sheriff’s deputy in the neck and killing one woman. After a short search by police, Vido shot and killed himself.
A law enforcement official confirmed to Breitbart News that Vido entered the U.S. as a refugee in 1977 from the Czech Republic and lived in the country as a refugee until his death, never applying for a green card. (Read more from “Accused Shooter Came to U.S. As Refugee” HERE)

Suspect in Texas Shootings That Left a Woman Dead Has Killed Himself, Police Say
By NBC News. An hourslong search that began Wednesday morning after a 65-year-old man allegedly shot and killed a woman and injured a deputy in back-to-back shootings in Texas ended with the suspect killing himself, authorities said.
Multiple law enforcement agencies began searching for Pavol Vido after he allegedly opened fire around 7 a.m. at a plumbing shop in Cleveland, Texas, 45 minutes north of Houston. He then fled the scene and shot a deputy who had pursued him into the parking lot of a veterinary clinic.
Scent dogs with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice tracked Vido’s scent and found him hiding under a boat, the agency said in a Facebook post. Vido shot and killed himself after he was confronted by officers, according to authorities.
Liberty County Sheriff’s Capt. Ken DeFoor told KPRC-TV earlier Wednesday that Vido entered the plumbing shop and shot three people.
The woman, who has not been identified, was pronounced dead at the scene, DeFoor told the outlet. The other two victims were hospitalized. (Read more from “Suspect in Texas Shootings That Left a Woman Dead Has Killed Himself, Police Say” HERE)
