Two men were killed early Sunday in South Dallas after what investigators believe began as a dispute between neighbors escalated into gunfire.
Officers with the Dallas Police Department responded to a reported shooting around 2:30 a.m. in the 6600 block of Emhouse Street, near Interstate 35E.
When officers arrived, they found two men suffering from gunshot wounds outside a residence, according to police. Both victims were pronounced dead at the scene.
As officers secured the area, authorities said a male suspect barricaded himself inside a nearby home, prompting a response from the department’s SWAT team. Officers used ballistic shields as they approached the residence, while several nearby streets were closed during the standoff.
Police said the suspect was eventually taken into custody without incident.
The identities of the suspect and the two men who were killed have not been released.
Authorities have not said whether additional suspects are being sought. The investigation remains ongoing.
