Caught on Camera: Multi-car shootout in Dallas neighborhood barely misses sleeping toddler

DALLAS - Home surveillance cameras captured a rolling gun battle through Dallas’ Oak Lawn Heights neighborhood early Sunday morning, with bullets barely missing a sleeping toddler.

People thought they were hearing fireworks when the shootout started, then in a sleepy haze, realized it was 5:30 in the morning.

Dozens of shots can be heard during the Sunday morning incident. Tires screech as the cars, with at least two people inside each, roll onto Parkland Avenue. Someone is lifted out of the pursuing car on the left side of the video to get a better shot. When the gunfire stops, the people in the other car run.

The footage is from Sharmin Ashtaputre and Nam Duong's surveillance camera.

I am sorry I don't know how to place a video on here properly.

I'm from Dallas originally, but I am not sure where this particular neighborhood is. You are probably right though, but they still seemed very surprised at the violence that happened.
I used to see gunfights similar to this when I was a teenager, but this is like a crazy movie here!

Nice police response time.

That's what I was thinking.

Wow.

I'd think twice about showing up too.

But....aren't they the ones that are expected to protect us all when the guns are outlawed for citizens? If they cannot respond in time, who will be prepared to protect us at that point?

Things that make you go, hmmmmmmmmmmmm.....

Here's a Google Map link to where the video was taken from.

This is an older neighborhood that's being redone, I have been through there a few years back (I didn't realize that a while ago though) and it is a place where younger and successful people live and raise families. I don't think it is the 'hood', but the "hood" is not far away in any direction. I used to live about 3-1/2 miles from there back until the early 70's, where I lived was definitely the "hood", but I am not certain how long this place has been revitalized.

Anyway, if you get a chance, I guarantee that you will not believe the insanity that (drug dealers, I assume) will do for their paycheck.
I counted upwards to 'around' 40 shots fired in this from the beginning to the end, it was very hard to count them.

I think that the house with the camera was that modern, out-of-place house in the middle. What an odd house for that neighborhood.

Yeah, it is that house.
Odd looking for sure, but as you 'drive' down the street using Google Maps you can see other houses that are similar. This at one time appears to be a nice neighborhood, one that was starting to show its age, then people started renovating. There are other neighborhoods not far away that were very nice neighborhoods that have been renovated, that is the only good thing about that part of Dallas.

That entire area is surrounded by the poor, having a mansion at the best neighborhood in that area still means that you will see crime, it can't be escaped from. By, "poor", I mean, government housing project poor, I don't know if they are still there but the attitude in that area has not changed, I know that, not since the 60's.
I do not miss that city at all, I hate driving through it too, even on the interstate.

I looked at the street from the exact point that the house camera was videoing that morning, it showed it really close, you could see that it a''pears' by all intents and purposes to be a normal street, at least, now.

This is actually 'in the middle' of a poor area. There are pockets of nice areas in Dallas that are all surrounded by poor areas, I only assume that every place is like that, or, it's the mayor's fault.

Probably the White House--I'm sure that this was Trump's fault somehow.

Also, I used to live in a relatively "poor" neighborhood that consisted of homes built between the '30s and '50s, and it was still relatively clean. I know many people who live in poor areas who still take pride in home ownership and their neighborhoods.

I am surprised at how nobody has mentioned watching this.
Has anyone seen this yet?
If you did, did you not agree that it's CRAZY?
This is not just a story about a shooting taking place, it is a video that shows it from beginning to end.

Just wonderin', I thought it was as wild as wild gets.

I do understand about not wanting to not click on a link from a news station where there are commercials, but I guarantee you that it is worth it.
