It’s completely unacceptable that this is taking place in Dallas, and we’re going to do everything we need to do to bring everyone responsible for this into custody.
Dallas Police Chief Daniel Comeaux
At least four people were killed and 15 others injured in three separate shootings in Dallas’ Deep Ellum entertainment district Saturday night, according to Dallas Police Chief Daniel Comeaux.

Police chief praises police response to Halloween celebrations
Comeaux said Dallas police increased their presence in the Deep Ellum entertainment district Saturday night in anticipation of Halloween crowds. He praised police officers for their quick response to the shooting, saying one officer provided lifesaving care to an injured person and was able to resuscitate them.
“We had a full complement here. We had a lot of officers. There was a lot of response here,” Comeaux said. “We looked at the plan. We knew it was Saturday night. We knew it was Halloween, so we had the proper staffing.”
The chief said an officer told him they were less than two blocks away when they heard gunshots and immediately ran to the scene.
“I mean, these are the things that contribute to continued chaos. When you have that presence and officers are on scene that quickly,” Comeaux said.
Dallas police ask public for video of Deep Ellum shooting
As the investigation continues, Comeaux urged anyone who was in Deep Ellum overnight and may have recorded video or taken photos to share that material with Dallas police. He said investigators were already receiving information but needed additional evidence to help establish what happened at each location.
“We’re really asking the public, if you have video, if you have photos, anything from social media, anything, please reach out to us so we can try to piece it all together and do some justice here,” Comeaux said. “We need all the video you have. If you have something, even if you don’t think it might show anything, you never know. We’re already getting information, and so we need to confirm some of that information. And I’m pretty sure someone has captured the appropriate video footage that can help us.”
