Second Deep Ellum Shooting in a Week

Bystander caught in crossfire of Deep Ellum shooting

A later night in Deep Ellum turned into a nightmare for a woman who was caught between gunfire overnight. FOX 4's Tisia Muzinga is at the scene with updates from police.

A second shooting incident occurred in Deep Ellum in less than a week when a group exchanged gunfire near Punch Bowl Social early Monday, injuring a woman who fell while caught in the crossfire. Dallas police are still searching for suspects in that incident.

The Monday shooting took place near the same location as a fatal shooting on Friday.

Police reported no one was struck by bullets in Monday's incident, but a woman suffered a head injury after falling and hitting her head while running from the gunfire.

Dallas police continue to investigate both shootings and are looking for suspects in each case.
