A woman who lives near a suburban Dallas home where eight people are dead, including the suspect, after a shooting says she'd earlier seen people laughing and grilling outside.

Stacey Glover told The Dallas Morning News that the party started early Sunday afternoon. Then, she says, she heard shots around 8 p.m. She opened her door and smelled gunpowder. She heard police who arrived yell "hands up" before more shots rang out.

The victims and suspect haven't been identified. Two others were injured in the shooting.
