Police in Dallas say four people are dead and 15 are injured following separate
shootings in a Dallas neighborhood. Police Chief Daniel Comeaux said police are
still trying to determine if the shootings in the Deep Ellum neighborhood were
related.
It was among several violent incidents nationwide on Halloween weekend.
Separately, one person was killed and eight others were wounded in a mass
shooting just outside Legion Field in Birmingham, Alabama, after the annual
?Magic City Classic' football game on Saturday night, police said. It was among
several violent incidents nationwide on Halloween weekend.
Michael Pickett, chief of the Birmingham Police Department, said most
spectators and families had left the stadium property after the game, but the
shooting happened nearby, where vendors were set up along Graymont Avenue.
He said he was "very grateful that more people weren't injured."
The circumstances of the shooting were unclear.
Police spokesperson De'Rell Freeman said one person had been detained and
transported to police headquarters for questioning, and "multiple weapons" had
been found and secured.
Alabama State and Alabama A&M are historically Black universities and
archrivals whose annual contest has been played for more than 100 years. Nearly
70,000 fans attended Saturday's game, won by Alabama A&M 31-28. The event draws
some of the largest crowds in the country for games played in their college
football division.
The Magic City Classic has such a deep history that Alabama State coach Eddie
Robinson Jr., a former NFL linebacker and alumnus of the school, proposed
creating a Hall of Fame for the game.
In Newark, Delaware, six people were shot shortly after 11:10 p.m. Saturday
near the University of Delaware campus, Newark police Lt. Greg D'Elia said. All
six were transported to hospitals for treatment. Video shared on social media
showed people running for safety from the scene. One stretch of the city's Main
Street was closed for several hours after the shooting.
And in Fayetteville, Arkansas, six people were taken to hospitals with gunshot
wounds from a shooting that happened early Sunday. No arrests have been made,
police said in a news release. A preliminary investigation indicates an
altercation preceded the shooting.
