An escaped murderer, who police believe may have killed an adult and four children during a manhunt, has been shot dead after his car was stopped.
Spike strips were used to bring the car to a halt and in resulting gunfire Gonzalo Lopez was confirmed deceased by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ).
Four children and an adult were found dead close to where escaped convict Lopez was last seen, Texas police had earlier reported, and they added that they believed he could be connected with their deaths.
