Within minutes, Dallas police arrested two of the three juveniles they believe responsible
for the fatal shooting of security guard Jay Rainey. Neighbors at the Briargate apartment
complex say they heard Rainey arguing just before the shooting started at about 4 30.
We heard some gunshots. It was about eight or nine gunshots. Eight or nine and they just kept
People tell me that they're not surprised by the murder. They hear shooting all the time.
They also say that they're frightened and hurt because of all the violence.
This man doesn't want his face shown, but suspects when he hears kids bragging about committing various crimes, it's a status symbol for them.
It might look good to them, but it don't look good to the people who they telling.
Others at the apartment complex are deeply distressed.
Reverend Donnie Dewberry is frustrated by tonight's shooting and this past weekend's involving the off-duty police officer, Reginald House, that Charles Coleman turned himself in for.
Fifteen-year-old Coleman, fearing retaliation by police, called Texas News 5 to be on hand last night when he turned himself over to police.
Reverend Dewberry's also annoyed no one seems to care until it's too late.
Where was everybody hiding it before anything happened? Why does it take something like this to bring everybody out of the cover?
That's no good. However, all's not lost. Other kids we spoke to shook their heads in sadness
about their peers apparently throwing their lives away. I know I've seen some guys that
done that and then like within the next three months they're shot and laying up in the hospital
bed or dead somewhere. From the level of violence it appears some kids do glamorize crime.
Folks like Dewberry just hope those who don't aren't struck down in the crossfire.
