Authorities said Wednesday that additional arrests have been made in connection to the deadly shooting of five people in Cleveland, Texas.
The suspected gunman, Francisco Oropesa, was apprehended in Conroe, Texas, Tuesday evening after a four-day manhunt. The FBI said he was found hiding in a laundry closet.
At a press conference early Wednesday, Lt. Timothy Kean, second in command at the San Jacinto County Sheriff's Office, said additional arrests have been made. Kean said he would not provide the exact number.

"There have been several arrests, but I can’t go into the details on that," Kean added Wednesday morning.
"I’m not going to say his name," Kean said of Oropesa. "I don’t think he deserves the glory for what he’s done."
Kean also would not confirm whether or not Oropesa's wife is among those arrested.
