DALLAS — Two people were shot in the Deep Ellum area of Dallas on Wednesday morning but are expected to survive, police said.
The incident was reported around 9:30 a.m. in the 2900 block of Commerce Street, between Malcolm X Boulevard and Walton Street.
A suspect was arrested later Wednesday, but police have not released the suspect's name.
Police said two people, a man and a woman, were shot by a woman during a disturbance at the location. The two victims were taken to a hospital for treatment.
Later that same day, police said a suspect was in custody but did not release a name or charges.
Several witnesses told WFAA that the two shooting victims work at Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken.
"I saw the police, the cop cars and everything, and I just started shaking cuz I mean I didn’t expect this to happen," employee Karen Vargas told WFAA.
Vargas and several other employees at Gus's told WFAA they know the suspect. They said she came to Gus's Tuesday, was involved in an altercation then came back Tuesday morning with a gun.
"[My co-workers] didn’t think she had a gun, she pulled out a gun and they started shooting."
A block away from Gus's, Jay Monroe showed WFAA a bullet in his car. He said he was driving back from jury duty when stray gunfire hit it. He said he ran to one of the victims who was running, then fell.
"He got hit in the right leg. 911 asked him if he knew the shooter and he said he did."
Monroe said he grew up around Deep Ellum and told WFAA crime was much less of an issue back then.
"It was better," he said. "It was safer, because people looked out for each other."
