Gunfire outside a large house party in Dallas killed a 21-year-old woman and injured eight others early Sunday in what detectives believe was a gang-related shooting.
Officers initially responded to gunfire in the 4500 Collins Avenue at around 11:10 p.m. on Saturday and found that a large crowd from a party that had ended nearby had moved into the street, the Dallas Police Department said.
The gunfire had stopped by the time police arrived, and at that point in time, no one was struck. Some officers remained nearby to monitor the crowd.
Around 1:35 a.m., more shots were fired, this time striking nine people in the crowd, which numbered around 45 to 50 people at the time, police said.
