This is completely unacceptable for it to take place in Dallas, and we’re going to do everything that we need to do to get everyone in custody that’s responsible for this.Dallas Chief of Police Daniel Comeaux At least four people were killed and 15 others were injured in three sepa rate shootings in a Dallas, Texas, neighborhood overnight Saturday, according to Dallas Police Chief Daniel Comeaux. Comeaux confirmed Sunday morning that investigators were working at three locations after the Halloween night shootings unfolded between midnight and 1:30 a.m. early Sunday. Police have not determined whether the incidents are connected. “The detectives and officers are still trying to put everything together to understand exactly what happened on each scene, and to see if anything is related,” Comeaux said. “At this time, we have no information that they are related, but we’re still doing an investigation to try to figure that out at this time.” Our partners at The Dallas Morning News reported four people were killed across two locations, while at least six others were wounded at a third. Police have not released details about what led to the shootings or publicly identified any suspects. Dallas Police investigate a series of shootings in Deep Ellum, Nov. 1, 2026.

Police chief praises officers’ response during Halloween celebrations Comeaux said Dallas Police had increased their presence throughout the Deep Ellum entertainment district Saturday night in anticipation of Halloween crowds. He praised officers for their quick responses to the shootings, saying one officer provided lifesaving care to an injured person and was able to revive them. “We were fully staffed out here. We had a lot of officers. There was a lot of response out here,” Comeaux said. “We looked at the plan. We knew it was Saturday night. We knew it was Halloween, so we were staffed properly.” The chief said one officer told him they were less than two blocks away when they heard gunfire and immediately ran toward the scene. “I mean, those are the things that helps more chaos from continuing on. When you have that presence and you have the officers on the scene that fast,” Comeaux said. Dallas Police ask public for video of Deep Ellum shootings As investigations continue, Comeaux urged anyone who was in Deep Ellum overnight and may have recorded video or taken photographs 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 pictures, anything from social media, anything, please contact us with this so we can try to piece this together and bring justice here,” Comeaux said. “We need all the videos you have. If you have anything, even if you don’t think it may show anything, you never know. We’re already getting information in, and so we need to confirm some of this information. And I’m pretty sure someone has caught the proper footage on video that can help us.” Dallas Police investigate a series of shootings in Deep Ellum, Nov. 1, 2026.
