Four people were killed and about 15 were injured in three shootings in Dallas's Deep Ellum neighborhood overnight into Sunday, Nov. 1.
3 shootings happened within about a half mile of each other.
1 hour and 15 minutes separated the first and last shootings, police said.
3 people died in the second shooting, near Commerce Street.
0 officers were injured; one officer revived a wounded person.
Why it matters: Deep Ellum is a busy entertainment district, and several venues advertised Halloween events that night. Police Chief Daniel Comeaux said the department had increased staffing for the crowds.
About six months earlier, two Deep Ellum shootings killed a security officer.
Dallas was one of several shootings nationwide over Halloween weekend.
