A gunman killed two people and injured one at a shooting near a nightclub in Dallas early Wednesday morning.
A man was taken to the hospital after a shooting near the Deep Ellum-area nightclub Bitter End, according to KDFW.
Rickey Gossett, 37, was walking down the sidewalk in front of the nightclub when a suspect opened fire, striking Gossett as he walked near the club's patio. Authorities say the suspect was directly aiming for Gossett.
