Details Emerge About the Cowboys Watch Party Massacre in Plano

Meredith Hight was just trying to host cookout to celebrate the Cowboys with her seven friends. She invited them over early Sunday afternoon, and a neighbor later reported hearing them laughing as they grilled. A few hours later, nearly all were dead.

Nine people were killed Sunday night, with one critically injured, after Hight's estranged husband, Spencer, began a shooting rampage. Police said he used several different firearms. Officers killed Spencer Hight, 32, making him the ninth fatality that night. Police called the shooting rampage “unprecedented” in Plano.

The victims were Meredith Hight, 27; Anthony Cross, 33; Olivia Deffner, 24; James Dunlop, 29; Darryl Hawkins, 22; Rion Morgan, 31; Myah Bass, 28; and Caleb Edwards, 25.

Police haven’t confirmed Spencer Hight's relation to the other victims, but people at the watch party knew him.
