The Dallas shooting has led the police to the arrest of 44-year old Erbie Browser who murdered his estranged wife, ex girlfriend and two more women last Wednesday night in what is a two-city spree, including DeSoto.

The shooting in Dallas started around 10 PM where 43-year old Toya as well as her 17-year old daughter Tasmia Allen were shot dead. Toya's 14-year old and a 17-year old family friend were found injured. The Dallas shooting suspect then moved 7 miles to a DeSoto home, where he allegedly used an exploding device before an open fire leaving his 47-year old estranged wife Zina Bowser and her 28-year old daughter Neima Williams dead along with two more boys, aged 11 and 13.

"We thought it was coming from upstairs because the kids are always upstairs making noise," neighbor Tommy Johnson shares as he described the explosion. "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."

District spokeswoman Laura Jobe descries Erbie before the killing spree: "He had a good history here, he was well liked, he's been described as a gentle giant," Authorities currently rule out the crime as a 'domestic-related incident'.

The Dallas shooting suspect was described as a "very tall and just a very heavy man, a very large man," weighing over 400 pounds. Apart from being a former cheerleader, Browser was a special education teacher, as stated in his Facebook page. Records also show that the gunman served as a staff sergeant for the US Army from October 1991 to November 2000.

The current condition of the 4 children is still unknown.
