A Fourth of July weekend shooting in Dallas' Deep Ellum entertainment district left one man dead, at least six others injured, and a police officer firing his weapon at an armed suspect, authorities said Tuesday. The shooting occurred early Saturday morning near Canton Street and South Good Latimer Expressway.

During an interview, the suspect reportedly denied having shot a gun since going to prison 25 years prior. DNA evidence on the murder weapon and gunshot residue later linked him to the crime, an arrest warrant affidavit says.
