Six people were shot and wounded in eastern Dallas around 3 a.m. Sunday, police said, with none of the injuries life-threatening and the investigation still open.
Gunfire tore through the 1400 block of South Barry Avenue in the early hours of Sunday, leaving six people hurt before most of the city was awake.
CBS News Texas reported that Dallas police said the shooting unfolded around 3 a.m. along that stretch in the eastern part of the city. Officers found six people injured. None of the wounds were life-threatening, the department said.
Dallas Fire-Rescue took three of the wounded to a nearby hospital. The other three got themselves there. No names were released. No ages. No suspect description. No arrest.
Police said the investigation remains ongoing. That is the full public account so far: six shot, six alive, no one in custody, and no stated motive.
The scene was ordinary residential pavement in eastern Dallas. The result was not. Six people caught gunfire in the middle of the night and had to reach a hospital, half by ambulance, half on their own.
Dallas police confirmed the basic facts and little else. The department has not identified a shooter. It has not said whether more than one person fired. It has not described a weapon, a dispute, or a target.
Residents on South Barry Avenue woke up to another overnight shooting and a police investigation with no public resolution. Taxpayers and lawful neighbors are left with the mess: yellow tape, hospital bills, and unanswered questions while the case stays open.
Three victims needed Fire-Rescue to move them. Three could still move themselves. All six were lucky the injuries were not worse. Luck is not a public-safety plan.
When six people are shot before dawn on a city street and police can only say the probe continues, the public is owed more than a holding statement. Victims deserve a suspect. Neighborhoods deserve a clear account of what happened on their block.
Until Dallas police name a shooter and close this case, South Barry Avenue is another reminder that overnight gunfire still reaches ordinary streets, and that accountability has to catch up.
