Two further shooting victims are in hospital after they were injured at the property on Sunday night.<\/p>\n
Police spokesman David Tilley said the shooter was killed by the first responding officer after an exchange of gunfire. The officer was not injured.<\/p>\n
It is not yet clear what motivated the attack in the suburb of Plano, or if the gunman knew the victims.<\/p>\n
“We’re trying to put all the puzzle pieces together,” Mr Tilley said.<\/p>\n
The local\u00a0Dallas News<\/a>\u00a0reported that those killed had been watching the Dallas Cowboys, an American Football team, when the violence unfolded.<\/p>\n The outlet quoted a neighbour, Stacey Glover, who said there had been a game-watching party at the property that started early in the afternoon, with people laughing and grilling food outside.<\/p>\n Police have not named the shooter or any of the victims, but all are said to be adults. The condition of the two survivors is unknown.<\/p>\n Source: bbc.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
