Shooting in Dallas leaves four dead, including 1-year-old baby
A 15-year-old girl was injured, although she is now in stable condition. Authorities suspect a neighbor as the perpetrator of the crime.
A shooting in Rylie, Texas, a residential area located southeast of Dallas, left four dead and one injured. Among the victims was a 1-year-old baby.
The events occurred Sunday in a local neighborhood home. The Dallas Police Department (DPD) received an alert about a shooting that occurred around 4:20 p.m. at the 9700 block of Royce Drive.
Upon arriving at the scene and entering the house, officers found five people shot. Three of them, all adults, died instantly. The other two, a 1-year-old baby and a 15-year-old girl, were still alive and were taken to hospital. However, nothing could be done to save the life of the baby, who died at the medical center. The teenager, however, was saved and is now in stable condition.
As reported by the DPD to CBS News Texas, authorities suspect a neighbor who entered the home and started shooting. So far, no one has been arrested, and the murderer's motivations remain unknown. Police have ruled out further threats to the community, as preliminary investigations have indicated that it was an isolated incident.
