DALLAS — The life of the party, a sleeping child, a single mother and a father of five. All killed. All gun violence. All in a single week.
From March 9 through Wednesday, at least 13 people were fatally shot in Dallas — one of the highest death tolls from a single week in the past three years. They ranged in age from 11 to 61 and were killed in neighborhoods across the city. They were found in cars, in homes and on streets. Some were targeted, others were caught in the crossfire.
Scores more were affected by the gunfire — whether they witnessed it, were wounded or lost a loved one.
