A mass shooting has left at least two dead and more than a dozen injured at a homecoming party in Greenville, just northeast of Dallas, local officials and witnesses say. Only few details are currently available.
The incident happened just after midnight on Sunday when officers were called for an active shooter at The Party Venue on Highway 380 in Greenville, a city in Hunt County. Details about what happened were not immediately known.
According to initial reports, there are up to 20 gunshot victims, including multiple fatalities and serious injuries. Jason Whitely, a reporter for local ABC affiliate WFAA, said at least two people were killed and more than 12 others were injured.
A large number of emergency services, including air ambulances, were called to the scene of the shooting. There was no immediate comment from local authorities about the number of victims, and the status of the suspect(s) is unknown.
A homecoming party from Texas A&M University Commerce was reportedly taking place at the time of the shooting. WFAA-TV said the shooting involved a .227 caliber rifle. A motive is unknown.
Greenville is about 45 miles (72 kilometers) northeast of Dallas.

Looks like Hispanic and International students make up most of the balance.
Anyway, I'm hoping this was gang related.
Politically, schizo white guys with AR-15s have put the Second Amendment - and all our other basic liberties - under incredible stress.

Articles describes event as “unofficial homecoming party.” In other words a private party
Happens all the time in the da hood. As soon as the fact is known, this story will become less interesting.
Either a very old Rifle from the early 1900’s OR another ignorant reporter
Nonsense. Journalists / reporters know EVERYTHING, because they're your moral and intellectual betters. Including the "science" behind "climate change", and how you peasants ought to run your lives. Or better, let them tell you how to run your life.
Indeed, for the two dead it was a homecoming party. Or homegoing.
How many will be killed in DC or Hous when the World Series ends?
Sounds like Saturday night in Chicago or other dark town. Must be a wild cat cartridge as .227 is not a stock size.
I love that line.

Blacks are allowed their own parties but if whites did this...
When parties go bad, they go from “homecoming” to “had-it-coming.”
Near Commerce, TX where David Gibson is the church of Christ preacher. He’s a good man. That is now Texas A&M Commerce instead of ETSU. Great photography school there (or was).
Shooting is a sport. Killing is not. Would they have said mass STABBING? Hey media-——fah-Q
...Bill O'Reilly would harangue them for a week?
Prayers to the victims and their family.
Doesn’t seem like a planned mass shooting. Someone probably got mad and returned with a firearm to take out that aggression. Media won’t give it much air time though if the shooter isn’t white.
