2 dead, 6 injured in shooting at Texas Juneteenth celebration: officials

Two people died and at least six others — including two children — were injured during a shooting at a Juneteenth festival in Texas Saturday night, officials said.

A fight between two groups broke out at around 10:50 p.m. during the Round Rock Juneteenth Celebration.

“During that altercation, someone produced a gun and began to fire,” Round Rock Police Chief Allen Banks said. “Multiple victims were hit.”


Gunman who shot 9 people — including 2 kids — at Michigan water park lived with mom, may have planned more attacks

The gunman who opened fire at a Michigan splash pad, wounding nine people — including two little kids , lived with his mother and suffered from mental health issues, authorities said.

Cops also revealed that he may have planned additional attacks before killing himself during a police standoff on Saturday.

Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said there’s reason to believe that the Brooklands Plaza Splash Pad in Rochester Hills may not have been the gunman’s only target — and that the horrifying shooting in which an 8-year-old boy was critically wounded could have been dramatically worse.
