Dallas police report three Deep Ellum shootings, four dead

Dallas police said three shootings occurred within minutes of one another in the Deep Ellum neighborhood on Halloween night, leaving four people dead and 15 injured, according to Police Chief Daniel Comeaux. Investigators were working to determine whether the incidents were connected. Comeaux said the reported toll could rise because some people went to seek medical treatment on their own rather than waiting for emergency responders. He also said an officer revived one person at a scene and praised officers for arriving quickly. The casualty figures were attributed to the police chief. Police said arrests had been made, but did not disclose how many people were taken into custody or what charges they might face. Comeaux said investigators were interviewing people they had arrested and were still examining how those arrests related to the shootings. No suspects were publicly identified in the reports. The shootings prompted police to close off Deep Ellum and direct the public to leave while investigators worked at the scenes. Comeaux described the area under investigation as spread out. Police were collecting evidence and seeking witnesses and footage, according to his account....
