Two people were killed and at least 14 others were injured in a shooting at an off-campus party attended by hundreds during Texas A&M University-Commerce's homecoming weekend, a sheriff's official says. The shooter is at large.

Officials work a crime scene after a shooting at Party Venue on Highway 380 in Greenville, Texas, on Sunday, Oct. 27, 2019. A few people have been killed in a shooting at an off-campus Texas A&M University-Commerce party, a sheriff's official said.

The shooting took place just before midnight Saturday in Greenville, around 15 miles southwest of the Commerce campus, Chief Deputy Buddy Oxford of the Hunt County Sheriff’s Office said. The shooter remains at large, Oxford said. Oxford did not have information on the severity of injuries. Medical City Plano spokeswoman Melissa Sauvage told The Associated Press that the hospital — around 50 miles west of Greenville — had received three victims of the shooting, all of whom were in critical condition.

everyone cares when a bunch of college kids get shot but no one cares about gang violence. this is where it all stemmed from. the man was targeting his enemy and decided to empty the clip. rip to those who lost their life and god speed to those injured❤️

Shooter's last name is Gonzalez, I'm sure he is a white male trump supporter though.

Once, my family was told they didn't 'need' guns. They were told the government would take care of them. Then they were disarmed, corralled & slaughtered to near extinction. What was left was put on a reservation to live in poverty, violence & addiction. We learned...you didn't.

Criminals always find a way to acquire a gun but innocent people have to go through hell to find one

hmmm wonder if the guns used are from fast and furious?

This is the school my oldest son is looking to attend. Can I just keep my two boys home, safe with me forever?

90% chance the shooter is a liberal Democrat.

Ever notice how the people pushing the hardest for “gun control” are the ones most afraid of having the citizens revolt against an oppressive socialist government?

poeticlira

McConnell still did not allow a vote on the bipartisan gun control legislation...

Ugh ugh ugh.

On average, lethal weapons are used more in self defense than to commit atrocities. So yeah, 2A all the way.

mirabarhillel I thought the world was a safer place after the killing of Baghdadi (possibly himself a CIA stooge).

Give more guns is America's solution tho.

People die so others can make money. When they are supposed to be making laws for the people that vote for them, they are telling lies for the people that pay them more. Corrupt Greedy Lawless Traitors... Is this how a government 'By the people, for the people' works?

Stop them the shooter publicity. It’s another shooter after another so they can see who can get a higher kill count and publicity. Stop continually talking about it. All you need to do is mention it a few times. This is why gun laws will never work. Stop being senseless bitches.

Guns, guns, guns. The more we have, the stupider we are. The stupider we are, the more we kill. MoscowMitch – call a vote, for the bipartisan bill.

TIME TO STRIP LAW ABIDING CITIZENS OF THEIR GOD GIVEN RIGHTS

Hardly hearing a word about this. Are shootings something we just take as a normal part of society Now? DONT YOU SEE 2 WERE KILLED AND 14 injured? Does gun violence matter anymore? We must not normalize this. It’s a tragedy. Do something! gunsense shooting

Here we go again. The gun didnt do it?

There’s a way to prevent this and it’s sitting on senatemajldr desk

So what happens when guns are prolific & easily accessible in the USA?Add in a dash of unstable people;instant recipe for gun violence.The old argument has been guns themselves don't kill people. It's not rocket science to see that supply of guns & accessibility is a huge problem

Trench coats?

UPDATE: Gunman at Texas homecoming party who killed two and injured 14 remains at large, authorities say. Hunt County Sheriff Randy Meeks says the shooter may have been targeting someone at the party of 750 people.

Everytown Only in America. ISIS doesn't have to kill us, they just have to wait while we kill ourselves.

Americans and their sick love affair with guns.

ThomasS4217 Here we are again. I'd love to see all the guns on the planet melted down. TexasAandM RIP & condolences to the families.

p_hannam Another day Another shooting More devastated families. More guns accessible the more slaughter possible

Texas

The republicans are so proud of their gun toters in texas for piling up the body count as fast as florida. The WH republican bastard is encouraging the new body count record for this year.

I am not a US citizen, so I can only send my deepest condolences for those who departed, may they rest in peace. And I hope this may be the last in the US.

💔

It’s gun happy fellows from Texas, next story.

The ds ffs are so apparent at this point.

Here’s a chance for gun lovers to say something sensible like guns don’t belong on or near educational campuses except by police.

😢

And will the Republicans do anything except make speeches?

In other words, it’s not Chicago , let’s get on the story, stat.

We used to go to parties and wear best sneakers, today they go to kill :(

Why?

This what happens in a society that pushes guns,alcohol and drugs and then also teaches to settle your differences via violence.

GOP is concerned EndOP

«Thoughts & prayers»

That’s a slow day in Baltimore, not a mass shooting...

Where is the Good Guy with a Gun - this is Texas, not some 3rd World Sheeeet Hole Country like Penciltucky or Rudytoody

Here we are again. Get your hand wringing and thoughts and prayers ready Washington.

😥😥😥😥

Shooting 15839392 this year and nothing will change.

More republican approved gun violence.
