Halloween shooting
In Rowlett, Detective Bryan Mckenzie talked to FOX 4’s Shaun Rabb about the shooting that happened on October 31 of last year.
What they’re saying:
On Halloween night, at about 9:19 p.m. Rowlett police were called to a shooting in the 9100 block of Waterview Parkway. Hundreds of families were in the area with their kids trick or treating, when a fight broke out among a group of juvenile high school-aged girls.
“Two of the girls went to the ground fighting while they were on the ground and an unknown male came up from behind them and shot one of the females in the back. After the shooting, everyone took off,” said McKenzie.
