A jury in Cleveland has convicted a city firefighter in the shooting deaths of three people and wounding of two others over a neighbor's July Fourth fireworks.The jury returned the three aggravated murder and two attempted murder convictions Thursday afternoon in the case against 36-year-old Terrance Hough Jr. The defense had claimed that Hough acted in a fit of temporary rage. His attorney had argued that the shootings weren't planned as required for an aggravated murder conviction that could lead to a death sentence.
The jury must return Tuesday to hear evidence on whether to recommend the death penalty.
