TX - Eight people shot to death at Plano home, 10 Sept 2017

Seven people were fatally shot at a Plano home Sunday evening, and their attacker was killed by a police officer. Authorities were called to the home in the 1700 block of West Spring Creek Parkway, near Custer Road, about 8 p.m. after gunshots were reported. A nearby officer responded and heard more gunfire as he arrived. "He made entry, and that's when he observed several victims inside and then engaged the suspect," police spokesman David Tilley said. The officer fatally shot the gunman, whose name has not been released. The officer was not hurt. The victims, who also have not been publicly identified, were all adults. They had been watching the Dallas Cowboys when the violence began, neighbors said. Two other people at the home were hospitalized; their conditions were not known.

A neighbor said a friend of one of the homeowners said the violence had been sparked by a domestic dispute, but police have provided no details about the relationships between the victims and the gunman. The couple identified in public records as the homeowners sought a divorce in July.

I named Meredith Hight earlier in the thread with her FB. I'm not sure they were actually divorced yet. It was filed on 7-17-17 and shows as pending. Shooter was Spencer Hight and his FB is under Kal Hight.

I'm thinking they just called each other exes even though it might not have been legal yet. Just a guess though.

Nine dead now, including the gunman. Another person still in the hospital.

Arriving police officer heard active gunfire from inside the house and confronted the suspect, then killed him.

Horrible, just plain horrible. A divorce, an argument, then eight innocent people massacred at a party.

Awful. I'm surprised the officer entered the residence without backup. Actually, I'm surprised the officer entered at all. Would've thought the swats would've been called in.
