1 dead, 1 injured in shooting at Dallas apartment complex, police say

Police sources told WFAA that the incident started with a dispute between a man and a pregnant woman who worked at the apartment complex.

DALLAS — *Editor's note: One person shot at the scene is in critical condition, according to police sources. This story incorrectly said the victim had passed away, but police sources said he remains in critical condition.*

An investigation is underway after a shooting at a Dallas apartment complex, the Dallas Police Department (DPD) said. 

Dallas police were called to the complex in the 5800 of Pineland Drive in response to a shooting just before 12:50 p.m. Thursday, March 23. When officers arrived on scene, two men were found shot. 

Police sources told WFAA that the incident started with a dispute between a man and a pregnant woman who worked at the apartment complex. During the argument, the man allegedly pulled out a gun and fired shots toward the woman, but she wasn't struck, sources said. 

Police sources told WFAA that the woman's husband was in the parking lot at the time of the incident and confronted the suspect who fired the shots in her direction. During that argument, police sources said the suspect shot the woman's husband.

In a news release, DPD said following the shooting, the suspect went to the leasing office of the complex and when he couldn't get in, he fired shots inside. DPD said no one inside was injured. 

Once the suspect left the office, DPD said he walked a short distance and then turned the gun on himself. He died at the scene. 

The shooting victim was taken to an area hospital, where he remains in critical condition, DPD said. The woman at the scene was also taken to the hospital to be evaluated by medical staff, but she was uninjured, DPD said. 

The names of those involved have not been released at this time. 

This is a developing story. We'll update as more information becomes available.
