Two people are reported dead and 14 others injured after gunfire broke out at a late-night party in Greenville, Texas meant to celebrate Texas A&M-Commerce’s homecoming, according to the Hunt County Sheriff’s Office.
As of early Sunday morning, no suspects were in custody.
Buddy Oxford, chief deputy of the Hunt County Sheriff’s Office, held a news conference just before 5 a.m. where he said there’s not yet a description of the shooter and that witnesses are “not being cooperative.” He said the shooter used a semi-automatic rifle, and that there were roughly 750 people at the event.
The party was about 18 miles from the A&M-Commerce campus and wasn’t a university-sanctioned event, Oxford said.
According to The Dallas Morning News, video posted online showed some of the carnage, with at least one wounded victims receiving CPR and others screaming in the background.
