Witness on scene told KTXS that at first they thought it was fire crackers but then quickly found out what was going on. 

"I was trying to distinguish if it was fireworks and then I realized it was actually shooting, gunshots," said Patricia Garcia, the Burger King Manager from across the street. "I had my crew hit the floor. We scoured to the back of the store because we didn't know where it was coming from."

Rangers were back on scene today to search the Dodge pickup. During which six bullet holes were marked on the tailgate of the truck.
