A man has been arrested after being caught on surveillance camera shooting at the windows of a church daycare in northwest Houston while at least eight babies were inside the room, according to the church’s pastor.
Surveillance video from Advent Lutheran Church on Pinemont Drive showed him sitting on a second-floor apartment balcony firing toward the church on May 24, according to court documents.“We just thought the glass was breaking because of the heat or the glass was breaking because somebody threw a rock,” senior pastor Kim Little-Brooks told only KPRC 2.The church repaired the windows and added some protective film to the glass.
“It hit right where my face was, and then, of course, we all evacuated,” Little-Brooks said, adding that the film protected it from breaking the glass again. Silva Ortiz told police he was shooting at cans. He appeared in probable cause court on Thursday afternoon. Both pellet guns “are listed as being capable on their respective manufacturer websites of causing bodily injury and or death,” according to court documents. The carbon dioxide enables the weapons to be fired at a high velocity.
