Shootings in Dallas, Birmingham and other cities leave multiple dead over Halloween weekend

Four people were killed and 15 wounded in three separate shootings in Dallas's Deep Ellum entertainment district on Halloween night, Police Chief Daniel Comeaux said. Police said the shootings occurred over one hour and 15 minutes and no officers were hurt. Some arrests were made, though Comeaux did not say how many or on what charges, and investigators were still trying to determine whether the shootings were related. Elsewhere, one person was killed and eight wounded outside Legion Field in Birmingham, Alabama, after the Magic City Classic, which Alabama A&M won 31-28 before nearly 70,000 fans. Police Chief Michael Pickett said one person was detained and multiple weapons were secured. In Newark, Delaware, six people were shot near the University of Delaware campus late Saturday. In Bloomington, Indiana, police heard shots around 1:30 a.m. ET near Indiana University's homecoming, took a man with a gun into custody and reported seven hospitalized and no deaths. On Friday evening in Fairfield, California, 31-year-old Constance Hages died and six others were treated after a shooting in a Spirit Halloween store; police called it targeted, and the suspect was at large.

The Guardian US leads with Dallas, quoting Comeaux on the sprawling scene and the unresolved arrests, and treats Birmingham and Delaware as part of a wider weekend of violence. CBS News covers only Birmingham, featuring Pickett's description of a "senseless" act, his call for community action, and the game's history at historically Black universities. On the right, the Daily Wire reports the Fairfield store shooting, with victims' ages, the police statement that it was targeted, and Chief Dan Marshall's request for tips. Fox News groups Birmingham, Bloomington and Delaware as shootings near college communities, with at least 21 injured, and does not mention Dallas in its opening. Both sides report the Birmingham figures the same way. NewsNation tallies at least six dead across half a dozen cities and calls Dallas the deadliest.
