1 killed, 9 wounded at Halloween party in Texas

TEXARKANA, Texas (AP) – In a shootout at a Halloween party in east Texas, a man died and nine other people were injured, the police said.

Gunfire broke out at a events center in Texarkana late Saturday, police said in a press release. The police estimate that there were “at least a few hundred people” there.

The 10 people shot were taken to two hospitals for treatment; either with an ambulance, a police unit or a private vehicle, the police said.

A 20-year-old man was later pronounced dead in one of the hospitals. His name was not published. The injuries to the other nine people did not appear to be life-threatening, the police said.

The alleged shooter was not arrested. As the police announced, the perpetrator left the scene in an unknown vehicle.

Texarkana is on the Texas border, about 180 miles east of Dallas.
