Violent Halloween weekend across the United States
Three shootings within an hour left four people dead in Dallas, FOX 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul reports in its national roundup of Halloween weekend gun violence. The short report brings together incidents across several states, with at least six people killed and dozens injured nationwide.
Dallas Police Chief Daniel Comeaux vows to hold those responsible accountable. The report then moves to Birmingham, Alabama, where a fatal shooting outside Legion Field followed the Magic City Classic football game.
Birmingham Police Chief Michael Pickett stresses the gathering's importance beyond the violence: "The Magic City Classic is a staple event here in our community, in the HBCU community, and this will not take away from that."
The anchor also notes shootings in Fayetteville, Arkansas; Newark, Delaware; and Bloomington, Illinois. This is a brief national overview rather than a detailed account of each investigation.
The upload reached about 95,000 views in its first day, far above the station's usual audience for Shorts. FOX 9's separate reports on Southwest flooding and the fatal Florida jet crash also drew unusually large early audiences.
Chief of the Dallas Police Department since April 2025.
