GRAND PRAIRIE, TEXAS -- A gunman went on a shooting rampage at a roller rink birthday party in this Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex community about 7 p.m. on Saturday, July 23, killing five people and wounding three others before fatally turning his weapon on himself.
A police spokesman identified the shooter as local resident Tan Do, 35, and said the party was for his 11-year-old son. Do reporterly ordered the children to leave the party and, after they ran and hid, opened fire.
