A Texaco was the site of a Garland shooting yesterday where four were shot and three killed by what appears to be a teenage gunman.
Garland police released a video of the teen opening fire inside the Texaco station on Walnut Lane in Garland Sunday evening.

Police said the teenage male got out of the passenger side of a pickup truck and walked up to the front door. Police say he fired at least twenty times into the store before returning to the truck and leaving.
The victims were teenagers between fourteen and seventeen years of age.
Police said two of the victims came to the store together. The Dallas County Medical Examiner identified them as 15-year-old Ivan Noyola and 17-year-old Rafael Garcia.
Chief Bryan said investigators still trying to determine if this was a targeted attack.
“It’s difficult for me, for my officers and for my community because we want to know why we don’t have an answer to why we’re trying to comprehend this, and we don’t yet comprehend this. But we have a job to do,” he told members of the media.
The youngest victim was fourteen year old Xavier Gonzales who was ordering tacos for his family when the shooting happened.
The shooting comes just over a week after a nationwide school shooting “challenge” that went viral on Tik Tok.
