At least four people are dead and four more injured in Texas after a shooting spree in Dallas and DeSoto Wednesday night, reports WFAA 8 News.
Authorities confirm that a man looking for his ex-girlfriend walked into her southwest Dallas home and shot four people. Upon discovering that the woman who he was looking for was not home, he proceeded to a home in DeSoto where he tossed in an explosive.
