Koreatown shooting: Three women shot at Northwest Dallas hair salon
Dallas police only have a vague description of the shooter they're looking for. But they are looking into the possibility it may have been connected to a customer who was refused service at the salon. Feds are also investigating if it was hate crime-related.
"We’re very sorry you know for your accident yesterday. We help you whatever you need. Our community try to help you."
Meanwhile, back at the plaza, those at work say they’re worried for the safety with the gunman still out there.
"We’re just a little scared," Martinez said. "We want a little more surveillance around here."
Investigators are looking into whether the shooting was a hate crime.
The shopping center where the shooting happened has many businesses owned by Korean-Americans.
