Four of the victims range in age from 14 to 37. All patients are said to be in stable condition.
DALLAS — Six people were injured in a shooting in Dallas Tuesday night, police said.
Authorities are still searching for the suspect involved in the shooting, which occurred around 9 p.m.
Officers were initially dispatched to South Lancaster Avenue, but later learned the shooting had occurred in the parking lot of an apartment complex in the 8200 block of Willoughby Boulevard.
It's near Danieldale Park near Interstate 35E and Wheatland Road.
Police learned that the victims were involved in an argument and were shot by an unknown suspect.
A total of six people were shot dead. Two men were taken to the hospital by Dallas Fire Rescue, and the other four were taken to the hospital by car, police said. All patients are said to be in stable condition.
The names of the victims have not been released, but police said the four people taken to the hospital were aged 14, 15, 18 and 37.
Police provided no other information Wednesday.
There were several cars in the parking lot that were riddled with bullet holes. WFAA counted at least five cases affected.
Sierra French, who lives in the complex with her two children, returned home just before the shooting started.
She said she noticed two groups were arguing and some of them were armed.
French told WFAA that he waited in his car, then drove to the scene and heard what sounded like gunfire in the parking lot, which continued for several minutes.
“I saw them putting the gun in their waistband. The clip was extended,” French said.
“As soon as I saw the gun, I thought, 'Okay, let's just quietly get out of here.'”
French said when the dust settled, she noticed some of the car's windows had been blown out.
“If I had sat in the car a little longer, the police said I would have been dead on arrival,” French said. “It's very sad because I realized that the children could have lost their mother.”
Teresa Jimenez was in her apartment when the bullet went through her bedroom window. Two of her husband's trucks were also damaged, and some of her tires were flat.
“Thank God there was no one in that room at that time,” Jimenez said.
“Sometimes my granddaughter plays in that room, but it's too much.”
The camera points down into the parking lot of the complex, but officials there told WFAA the camera is not working.
Ms French said this was further evidence that she should move.
“I need a safe place for my children and I don't have that right now,” she said.
