First Name Tom, Last Name Foolery… And I’m Everybody’s Uncle!
Especially the students of… Texas A&M Commerce.
A&M University-Commerce homecoming party was the scene of a mass shooting early Sunday morning, October 27, 2019, the Hunt County Sheriff’s Office says. At least two people were killed & 14 others were injured in the shooting. A graphic video of the aftermath was posted on Snapchat & shared on Twitter.
The video showed numerous victims bleeding from gunshot wounds at The Party Venue in Greenville, Texas, which is located 20 miles away from the school’s campus. The October 26 Halloween themed Homecoming party was not sanctioned by the university, the school says. On Sunday, police reported that 8 victims suffered from gunshot wounds, two were deceased, four remained in critical condition at the hospital, while one was in fair condition.
The victims killed in the shooting were both men, police said. One of the victims has been identified by his family as Kevin Berry.
No deputies fired shots during the incident. No arrests have been made and the suspected gunman remains at-large, police say. Authorities said they do not know if the victims killed were students. Authorities said about four or five of the wounded victims were students at Texas A&M Commerce.
The shooting occurred just after midnight Sunday, Hunt County Sheriff Randy Meeks said at a press conference. Deputies had been dispatched to the scene of the party earlier for a parking complaint & were at the venue when shots were fired about 12:05 a.m.
The shooter is believed to have been a male. Meeks added they do not believe there is a threat to the public, “We believe this was a separate incident. There might have been somebody there who was targeted, we’re not for certain, we’re still following up on those leads.”
Jobin Panicker of WFAA-ABC tweeted, “No arrests have been made. Whereabouts of shooter unknown. At least 10 victims have been identified by law enforcement. Others may have sought medical help privately.”
