Texas: 4 Injured Following a Mass Shooting at a Vigil for Previous Murder Victims

At a vigil held at the same location where two others were shot the day before, four people were injured in a Texas mass shooting on Saturday night, according to authorities. It marks this year's fourth mass shooting in Dallas.

A vigil was being held Saturday night around 9 p.m. for the one person who was killed and another who was injured in a shooting on Friday, The Dallas Morning News noted.

That same night, a passing car's passenger opened fire on the crowd, and several of the crowd members fired back.

Four people were shot and taken to the hospital, said the Dallas police.

No one has been arrested in connection with the shooting on Saturday, but the car is described to be a white Chrysler, according to Dallas police.

The Recent Texas Mass Shooting Incident

The incident occurred in the 7400 block of S. Westmoreland Road before 9:30 p.m.

Donavon Jones, 19, was killed recently, and a candlelight vigil was organized outside a store in his honor.

A white Chrysler allegedly drove by the vigil and fired fire, according to the police.

Participants in the vigil fired back at the vehicle before it drove away.

The shooting resulted in the hospitalization of four individuals, but they are now in stable condition, according to police.

The mother of a teen who died Friday was also a victim during Saturday's shooting.

She was wounded in the back but was released from the hospital on Sunday, per Fox 4.

The police officials from Dallas returned for the third consecutive time to the scene of an ongoing investigation at the Discount Food Store at the intersection of Gannon Lane and South Westmoreland Road Sunday.

The Saturday night Texas mass shooting scene, which left four people injured, was examined by crime scene investigators who collected shell casings and photographed the scene.

A vigil from the previous night, cut short by gunshots, has left behind a trail of flowers and balloons.

The Previous Shooting Incident

Dallas police have provided details of the Texas mass shooting in the same neighborhood on Friday afternoon, but there is no evidence to suggest that the two are related, WFAA reports.

Jacory Simpson, 23, was found with a gunshot wound inside a shop, and he was sent to the hospital in critical condition, according to the police.

Another male, identified by police as 19-year-old Donavon Jones, had been shot, brought to a nearby hospital, and died Saturday, as confirmed by authorities.

An investigation by the police showed that Simpson and Taquan Cooks, 20, had gotten into an altercation outside the establishment. Following that, Cooks allegedly shot Simpson, according to the authorities.

Simpson allegedly shot Jones in the parking lot after that and fled into the store, according to the police.

Although Simpson is still in the hospital, police say he will be charged with murder and unauthorized carrying of a firearm, and Cooks have been detained and charged with assault causing bodily injury.

Since the Texas mass shooting investigation is still underway, no additional information has been made public.
