At least 8 dead after shooting in North Texas

A gunman killed seven people at a home in a Dallas suburb on Sunday evening before being shot dead by police called to the scene.

The shooting occurred earlier today in the city of Plano less than 20 kilometres northeast of Dallas.

Plano police spokesman David Tilley said police initially responded to a report of shots fired. When the first officer arrived and went inside the home, the officer confronted the suspected shooter.

Tilley says the officer opened fire, killing the suspect.
