Dallas
Three shootings in Deep Ellum within about 75 minutes early Sunday, Nov. 1, killed four people and injured about 15, FOX 4 and ABC News reported. Police said the first was around 12:20 a.m. on Elm Street, then about 1:05 a.m. on Main Street and 1:35 a.m. on South Crowdus Street. "Right now, in total, we have four people that are deceased from three separate scenes, and we have approximately 15 others that have been injured," Police Chief Daniel Comeaux said, according to those reports. He said the injury count could change because some victims took themselves to hospitals.
Investigators had found no evidence that the three scenes were linked, and several people were questioned, FOX 4 and Breitbart reported. The department had increased staffing for Halloween. No motive has been identified.
Other Halloween weekend shootings
In Birmingham, Alabama, one person was killed and eight wounded in shootings outside Legion Field after the Magic City Classic, according to the Associated Press and The Epoch Times. National roundups also counted shootings near college campuses and elsewhere; death totals varied by which incidents each outlet included, Straight Arrow News and CNN among them. New York Post put the combined toll higher by folding in additional campus shootings.
Why it matters
Police in several cities are still seeking witnesses and video from a Halloween night that left nightlife districts and campuses counting dead and wounded, with no reported connection among the separate Dallas scenes.
