Dallas police said a man is in custody after a shooting Monday afternoon at a North Dallas hotel that injured one person in an apparent domestic dispute.[[432347953,R]]
Dozens of officers, including SWAT units, responded to a report of an active shooter at the Dallas Wyndham Suites Park Central in the 7800 block of Alpha Road at about 2 p.m.
Deputy Chief Rick Watson a man apparently entered a hotel room and fired a weapon, striking the victim in the leg. A witness who was in the hotel room at the time of the shooting was able to escape unharmed.
The shooter — later identified as 37-year-old Jeremy Chaney — and the victim remained the room, so SWAT officers handled the situation as a hostage rescue, believing the victim needed immediate assistance, Watson said.
Part of the hotel was evacuated, and other guests were ordered to stay locked in their rooms.
Watson said SWAT officers were eventually able to gain entry into the room, and Chaney surrendered without any resistance.
