AND PROTECTED BY BARRICADES

UNTIL IT CAN BE REMOVED.

>>> NOW TO THAT MASS SHOOTING IN

PLANO, JUST A HORRIBLE NIGHT OF

VIOLENCE.

SEVEN PEOPLE WERE SHOT AND

KILLED INSIDE A HOME AND THIS

MORNING THEIR ALLEGED ATTACKER

IS ALSO DEAD SHOT BY POLICE.

THIS HAPPENED ON WEST SPRING

CREEK PARKWAY NEAR CUSTER.

TWO OTHER PEOPLE WERE ALSO SHOT

LAST NIGHT, BUT SURVIVED.

THEY ARE NOW IN THE HOSPITAL.

BEN RUSSELL IS LIVE ON THIS

STORY FOR US THIS MORNING.

SEVERAL HOURS LATER THERE WAS

STILL A VERY ACTIVE SCENE AT

THAT HOUSE.

>> Reporter: AND WE EXPECT THAT

TO BE THE CASE FOR MUCH OF THE

MORNING.

SPRING CREEK PARKWAY IS A BUSY

SIX-LANE STREET AND I’M STANDING

IN IT RIGHT NOW BUT ALL THE

ATTENTION IS FOCUSED ON A HOUSE

ACROSS THE STREET BEHIND THE

SPEED LIMIT SIGN, ONE WHERE YOU

CAN SEE A PORCH LIGHT ON.

NEIGHBORS TELL US THAT THERE WAS

A DALLAS COWBOYS WATCH PARTY

HERE AT THIS HOUSE YESTERDAY AND

INTO LAST NIGHT.

WHAT WE KNOW IS THAT SOMEONE

CALLED 911 JUST AFTER 8:00 TO

REPORT SHOTS BEING FIRED.

THAT WAS STILL HAPPENING BY THE

TIME POLICE ARRIVED.

THEY WENT INTO THE HOUSE, SHOT

AND KILLED THE SUSPECT AND MADE

THE DISCOVERY, WHAT IS BELIEVED

TO BE THE WORST MASS SHOOTING IN

THE HISTORY OF PLANO.

>> DEFINITELY, NO DOUBT.

I MEAN, I’VE BEEN WITH THE

DEPARTMENT 20 YEARS AND I CAN’T

RECALL ANYTHING AND I’VE LIVED

IN THIS TOWN ALL MY LIFE AND I

CAN’T RECALL ANYTHING THIS

TRAGIC BEFORE.

>> Reporter: AND HERE WE ARE

AGAIN LIVE AT THE SCENE.

YOU CAN SEE A CLOSER VIEW.

YOU SEE A SHADOW IN THE ALCOVE

AREA.

AN INVESTIGATOR COMING OUT OF

THAT HOUSE.

WE EXPECT IT TO BE THE SCENE THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY TODAY AS

WELL.

THE MAN WE JUST HEARD FROM IS

POLICE OFFICER WITH THE PLANO

POLICE DEPARTMENT.

WE’LL INTERVIEW HIM LIVE ON

FACEBOOK IN A FEW MOMENTS.

THERE ARE A LOT OF QUESTIONS

THAT NEED ANSWERS TO SO WE’LL

TRY TO GET SOME OF THOSE FOR YOU

IF YOU WANT TO JOIN US.

CHIEF AMONG THOSE QUESTIONS IS

WHY.

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE THE

MOTIVE FOR SOMEONE TO SHOOT NINE
