Two men have been arrested and charged with first degree murder in the killings of a retired U.S. army sergeant and three of his family members in Puerto Rico.

Sixty-seven year old Miguel Ortiz Diaz, his wife and his mother-in-law were fatally shot at their home in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico late Monday, Fox News Latino reported.

The assailants kidnapped Ortiz’s two sons after the shooting and took them to a field in Guaraguao neighborhood where the elder son was shot to death, El Comercio reported.

The assailants reportedly ran out of bullets when they tried to kill Ortiz’s younger son. So they stabbed him and threw him over a bridge, according to El Comercio. Miraculously, the 13-year-old boy survived the attack and later sought help.

Police said the murders were carried out by people who were renting a house from Ortiz and were facing eviction after they failed to pay rent, Fox News Latino reported.
