Shooting That Caused Campus Lockdown May Be Gang Related

KILGORE — Investigators said they believe a shooting near the Kilgore College campus may be gang-related, that’s according to the Longview News-Journal. Authorities said they recovered as many as 30 shell casings that were fired from several handguns during the March 4 incident. The shooting apparently was a continuation of a fight on campus earlier that day. Witnesses told police the same two people later continued the fight in an off-campus alley near Houston and South streets. The incident led to a campus lockdown under the college’s Ranger Alert system. Students were asked to stay inside as police investigated. Kilgore police are working with Kilgore College police to identify the suspects.
