Authorities say multiple people have died in a shooting at a home in a rural town north of Fort Worth.
Denton County sheriff's Captain Orlando Hinojosa says police responding today to a report of a burglary in progress found "several deceased individuals inside the house." He declined to say just how many people were found dead in the home in Ponder, about 50 kilometres north of Fort Worth.
Hinojosa says authorities are not looking for a suspect and that residents are not in danger, but declined to elaborate.
One person at the home was hospitalised.
School Superintendent Bruce Yeager said in a statement that no students or district staff are listed as living at the home and that police told him there is no threat to any schools.
