Four people die in
Houston shooting
HOUSTON (AP) — Three men and a woman were
fatally shot early Monday after a 19-year-old man ar
gued with one of the victims and then fired repeatedly
into their parked car, police said.
Narit B. Bunchien was taken into custody without
incident by officers who responded to the 3 a.m.
shootings outside his home in a middle-class subdivi
sion in southwest Houston.
Capital murder charges against him were pending.
Police released few details, but investigators said
they did not believe the killings were gang-related. No
motive was given.
The four had gone to Bunchien’s house to talk to
him, police Lt. Chuck McClelland said.
“There was some dialogue or conversation that
took place at the suspect’s front door before the sus
pect and one of the victims walked back to the vehi
cle,” McClelland said.
An argument broke‘out. Bunchien pulled out a .40-
caliber handgun and shot repeatedly into the blue,
two-door car, striking all four occupants, police said.
The victims, who were not immediately identi
fied, appeared to be in their late teens or early 20s,
police said.
Two of the men and the woman died at the
scene, while the fourth died at a hospital while un
dergoing surgery.
A man at the Harris County Medical Examiners’ Of
fice, who would not give his name, said the victims’
names would not be released pending notification of
relatives. He referred questions about the victims’
wounds to police.
Bunchien’s mother spoke briefly to reporters
through the partially opened door of her brick home.
When asked what her son told her after the shoot
ings, she said, “He said there are four people in the car
so I thought they tried to come in the house and kill
us.... I called 911.”
Deadbeat parents
arrested in roundup
AUSTIN (AP) — Christmas time or
not, parents who are delinquent on
their child support payments might
find themselves in jail during the hol
iday season, Texas Attorney General
Dan Morales said Monday.
“Far too many children will not
have a special meal
nor receive a special
gift because one of
their parents is not
contributing to their
financial support,”
Morales said.
“Spending time be
hind bars during the
holidays is the prop
er message for these
delinquent parents.”
Thirteen people
were arrested in
Travis County Mon
day as part of a spe
cial roundup of
port collection agencies, domestic
tions offices and private attorneys,
An estimated 5,400 arrest wan;
were issued between Sept. 1,
and Aug. 31, 1996. During that
od, about 600 delinquent pare
were arrested, Morales said.

delinquent parents, Morales said,
adding that similar efforts will be oc
curring across the state.
Delinquent parents in Houston,
Dallas and the rest of the state need
to know “that similar types of activi
ties will be ongoing in their areas as
well,” Morales said.
Of the more than 408,000 in Texas
who owe back child support, about
219,600 were making no efforts to pay
up as of October 1996, Morales said.

“They need to take all of their (Christ
mas) decorations and put their lights on
timers,” Sayers said. “It’s also good if you
can find someone to take care of [picking
up] newspapers and checking the mail.”
Sayers said the odds of retrieving stolen
property are slim because most burglaries
are not reported until the victim returns
several days after the crime has occurred.
Crime prevention personnel also ad
vise residents to make sure all windows
and doors are locked, valuables are hid
den and appliances are unplugged.
Lemay said preparing for the drive
home should be a priority.
“Everyone should be careful traveling,”
Lemay said. “And they should check their
belts, hoses, and everything on their cars
before getting on the road.”
She said everyone should be well-rest
ed before driving.
“We’ve lost a number of students to
auto accidents simply because they’re ex
hausted or hungry,” Lemay said.
Sayers and Lemay both stressed that
motorists should wear their seat belts while
traveling and avoid drinking alcohol.
Motorists, Sayers said, should take pre
ventative steps before traveling.
“Leave while there’s plenty of time, have
your vehicle serviced, and let someone
know what route you’ll be taking,” he said.
Lemay said women should be aware of
their surroundings.
“Women should be especially careful,”
Lemay said. “Lots of rapes and kidnap
pings happen during the break.”

BookSwap
Continued from Page 1
BookSwap provides the course number
and title of books for sale, as well as the
phone number and e-mail address of the
student selling the books.
Marrocco said the only problem with
BookSwap is many students are unaware it
exists.
“There have been publicity problems
with it,” he said.
“Students generally don’t know it exists
unless they come upon it by accident.”
BookSwap usage has tapered since its be
ginning in May 1995. Currently, there are
two books for sale on BookSwap.
Cochran said since publicity has not
continued for BookSwap, fewer and fewer
students know about it. Cochran said Stu
dent Government wants to spread the word
as much as it can in order to keep the pro-
vanced Tutoring Services were all locatec

and have not relocated.
Sopasakis said he has contacted a laid
and will continue to fight the city’s decisi f
concerning Texadelphia and the shopping!
ter’s demolition.
"What we’re looking [for] is to have initia
from the city to take the lead that theyshi

their own businesses — and try to relocal!
