Police said the shootings appeared to be unrelated, according to ABC News.
What happens next
- Dallas police's investigation into each of the three Deep Ellum shootings and whether its assessment that they were unrelated changes.
- Updated casualty totals for the Deep Ellum shootings, currently four dead and 15 injured, and the nationwide Halloween-weekend tally of at least six deaths.
Bottom line
The police assessment that the Deep Ellum shootings were unrelated makes the Dallas death toll a cluster of separate violent incidents rather than an established single attack.
