ROOM FROM TAMPA, FLORIDA, AS WE

HAVE THE LATEST HURRICANE TRACK.

>>> FIRST, WE BEGIN WITH A

TRAGIC STORY.

A MASS SHOOTING UNFOLDING RIGHT

NOW ON PLANO’S EAST SIDE.

EIGHT PEOPLE ARE DEAD.

>> THREE HOURS AGO POLICE WERE

CALLED TO A SHOOTING ON SPRING

CREEK PARKWAY.

WE KNOW THERE WAS A

CONFRONTATION AND THEN POLICE

SHOT AND KILLED A GUNMAN.

ONCE INSIDE, THEY MADE THE

DISCOVERY OF THE VICTIMS.

NBC5’S VANESSA BROWN IS AT THE

CRIME SCENE TONIGHT.

>> Reporter: THAT’S RIGHT, CORY.

RIGHT NOW WE ARE ON SPRING CREEK

PARKWAY BETWEEN BLUE RIDGE DRIVE

AND GREEN OAKS BOULEVARD.

AS YOU MENTIONED, SEVERAL PEOPLE

INJURED HERE.

WE’VE GOT CRIME SCENE TAPE UP

ACROSS MUCH OF THE BLOCK BEHIND

US.

MORE THAN A DOZEN OFFICERS OUT

HERE AND A SWARM OF POLICE CARS.

THIS ALL STARTED AROUND 8:00

TONIGHT.

PLANO POLICE TELL US WITH A

WEAPONS CALL, WHEN OFFICERS

ARRIVED AT THE HOME, THEY WERE

CONFRONTED BY A SUSPECT WHO THEY

SHOT AND KILLED.

SORTLY AFTER THEY FOUND NINE

PEOPLE SHOT IN THE HOME, SEVEN

OF THOSE DEAD.

TWO ARE AT THE HOSPITAL RIGHT

NOW.

NO WORD YET ON THEIR CONDITION.

POLICE ARE STILL LOOKING FOR A

MOTIVE.

THIS IS THE LARGEST MURDER SCENE

POLICE HERE CAN REMEMBER.

DEPARTMENT SPOKESMAN SAYS HE’S

NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS

BEFORE.

>> IT WAS JUST -- IT WAS SURREAL

BECAUSE I’D NEVER -- I’D NEVER

EXPERIENCED ANYTHING, YOU NEVER

HEARD ANYTHING LIKE THAT HAPPEN

IN OUR CITY BEFORE, SO, I MEAN,

IT WAS ONE OF THOSE THINGS

YOU’RE JUST KIND OF LIKE, DID

THIS REALLY TAKE PLACE?

THERE ARE SOME FACTS THAT ARE

WRONG, BUT AFTER CONFRONTING THE

FACTS ON, IT I WAS ABLE TO

ASSIST.

>> Reporter: WE HAVE EIGHT

PEOPLE DEAD, INCLUDING THE

SUSPECT.

TWO MORE PEOPLE AT THE HOSPITAL

WITH GUNSHOT WOUNDS.

BECAUSE THIS WAS AN

OFFICER-INVOLVED SHOOTING AND

THAT SUSPECT DID DIE, TEXAS

RANGERS WILL BE OUT HERE TO

INVESTIGATE.

WE’LL KEEP YOU UPDATED AS WE
