LEWISVILLE -- On Saturday, tragedy hit a sidewalk sale that's been around for more than 30 years.

One of its vendors was killed, after a gunman fired into the crowd.

A Lewisville father and husband was killed at the Dallas flea market.

It happened on Field Street around 2:30 a.m. Saturday, at an event that attracts dozens of vendors and customers.

It's a monthly tradition under the Woodall Rodgers Freeway, near Field Street.

It's a sidewalk sale, filled with computers and hard drives, but on this Fourth of July, violence shut down the event.

"We were talking to a customer and we heard loud bangs coming from the intersection - at first we thought it was fireworks," said vendor Charles Gallegos. "We hit the ground."

Someone fired into the crowd - it was a random drive-by.

Kathryn Orsburn's husband never came home.

"I don't know how any of us are going to do without him. I really don't," she said.

Herbert "Dale" Orsburn's special van for the PC flea market is parked in his driveway.

It's packed with hard drives and computer parts.

He started going to the event nearly ten years ago.

"He lived for them. He spent all of his time going through thrift stores and garage sales, gathering up stuff for the first and third Saturday. He had lots of friends there," said his wife.

He also had many friends on Mimosa Lane in Lewisville.

"I really miss my friend. I miss my friend," said one neighbor.

His neighbors and family told us he had a good and giving heart -- he even kept on giving, even after losing his job at a grocery store last year.

"I am hoping they find the person that did this because you couldn't find a more wonderful person in this world than Dale," said his wife.

For his wife of more than 30 years, it's difficult to see life without him.

"He has always been the kind that you can depend on in sickness and in health, and even when your dog died, so I don't know... it's just hard to believe he's gone," she added.
