An investigation continues after an attempted carjacking at a crowded shopping center on the edge of the Park Cities.
An attempted carjacking rattled nerves at a crowded shopping center on the edge of the Park Cities Friday night.
It was just before 6:30 that witnesses dining in Odelay near the Dallas North Tollway and Lovers Lane say several shots rang out.
“Six, eight, maybe 10. It was not one or two. It was a number of them,” said Thomas Gleason. “Immediately, everyone just started to scatter like they would in a gunshot situation.”
Gleason, who has a permit to carry, said he pulled his gun as others fled towards the kitchen or dove under dining tables.
