Four people were reported wounded and four killed Wednesday night in two related shootings in Dallas. Reports say, explosives were also involved in both incidents.
The suspect has already been identified by Dallas police as Erbie Bowser, a former dancer for the Dallas Mavericks or so his Facebook page says.
Bowser was arrested by authorities in DeSoto, Texas -the scene of the second shooting. Family members of Bowser told police that the suspect was looking for an ex-girlfriend in both crime scenes. Bowser's first shooting spree happened at 10:30 p.m. inside a home in Dallas, TX where a mother and daughter were shot and found dead by police. Jeff Cotner of the Dallas Police Department told reporters that the 14-year-old brother of the victim and a 17-year-old girl who were also inside the home were wounded.
Sources say, Bowser then drove 7 miles going to DeSoto and by 10:45 p.m., he tossed an explosive device into a DeSoto home before starting his shooting spree.
DeSoto authorities couldn't confirm what kind of device Bowser tossed into the home telling the media that it is still being investigated by the FBI.
DeSoto police say two women were killed in the second home that Bowser attacked and two boys -one 13-year-old and one 11-year-old were left wounded.
Neighbors of the home in DeSoto told police later on that they heard a loud boom. Tommy Johnson, one of the people who heard the explosion told reporters, "We thought it was coming from upstairs because the kids are always upstairs making noise. I went up and asked, 'Did y'all hear anything?' and one of my daughters said it came from outside, so I peeped out the front, and that's when I saw a bunch of officers walking down the sidewalk about 10 houses up."
The police took Bowser without him fighting them, sources say. However, no charges against Bowser has been filed just yet.
The minors wounded in the shootings were brought to hospitals nearby but there's no news of their condition.
