One person was seriously hurt in a shooting Sunday at an outdoor concert in Ferris, officials with the Ellis County Sheriff's Office said.
The shooting happened around midnight at a property on the 600 block of Risinger Road, officials said. A man was shot once in his abdomen and taken by CareFlite to a hospital in Dallas. He was stable as of Sunday afternoon.
There were approximately between 2,000 to 3,000 people at the concert, officials said, which was on land contracted out to a music festival organization.
Investigators said the man was hit after a disturbance between people at the concert led to one man shooting multiple rounds into a crowd of people.
A number of people ran away from the scene, officials said.
Authorities are still searching for the shooter, who they say was described as a Hispanic man in his early 20s with a thin mustache with black hair. His hair was shaved on the sides with a "bowl-type length on top," according to officials. He was wearing blue jeans and a black shirt at the time.
Officials are asking anyone with any information to contact Case Agent Richard “Chip” Hundley at 972-825-4965 or richard.hundley@co.ellis.tx.us.
