RUNAWAY BAY, Texas – At least one person was killed and numerous others have been injured after a powerful storm that apparently produced at least one tornado ripped across North Texas on Saturday night.

What we know:

Wise County Judge J.D. Clark confirmed at least one fatality in Runaway Bay after an apparent tornado hit the town on the banks of Lake Bridgeport. He said numerous other people have been injured and at least 20 families have been displaced.

A photo shared by FOX 4 News viewer Chad Casey showed what appeared to be a funnel that was backlit by lightning near Runaway Bay.

A FOX 4 News crew that arrived in the town about 50 miles northwest of Fort Worth found emergency vehicles along a highway, with power lines down and debris in the roadway.

The National Weather Service had issued a Tornado Warning for the area of Wise County where Runaway Bay is located at the time the damage happened. The NWS also warned people in the path of the storm of very large hail and damaging winds.

A Tornado Warning was also in effect for the Springtown area in Parker County when the same storm caused damage about 25 miles northwest of Fort Worth. 

Parker County officials reported a structure had collapsed in the Springtown area, and two people may be trapped inside. Chad Casey also shared video with FOX 4 News that showed damage to structures, billboards and vehicles.

What we don’t know:

The identity of the person killed by the storm has not yet been released.

The NWS will likely survey the damage Sunday to determine if a tornado indeed happened. If so, the agency will also assign a rating to the twister.

What they’re saying:

Clark said the American Red Cross is headed to the scene in Runaway Bay to help displaced families.

“A Reunification Center has been established at: 513 Port O’ Call Drive, Runaway Bay,” Clark wrote in a Facebook post. “Families seeking information about loved ones or needing assistance are encouraged to report to this location.”

He said everyone but first responders should avoid the Runaway Bay area.

Well that’s a wrap! Despite all of the hand-wringing, Alabama finished with 10 total players drafted, behind only Ohio State (11) for the most in college football. On top of that, the Tide was the only SEC school with multiple first round draft picks. If you missed any of them, here is the recap:

Round 1, pick 12 – OT Kadyn Proctor – Miami Dolphins

Round 1, pick 13 – QB Ty Simpson – L.A. Rams

Round 2, pick 47 – WR Germie Bernard – Pittsburgh Steelers

Round 4, pick 137 – DL LT Overton – Dallas Cowboys

Round 5, pick 146 – C Parker Brailsford – Cleveland Browns

Round 5, pick 149 – LB Justin Jefferson – Cleveland Browns

Round 5, pick 173 – TE Josh Cuevas – Baltimore Ravens

Round 6, pick 201 – CB Domani Jackson – Green Bay Packers

Round 7, pick 232 – DT Tim Keenan – L.A. Rams

Round 7, pick 245 – RB Jam Miller – New England Patriots

All in all, it was a big day three for Alabama after a slow day two.

With the draft over, the undrafted free agent frenzy begins (seriously, if you think the draft is crazy, some the stories I’ve heard from NFL GMs about what happens right after it trying to convince all of the UDFAs to go places are pure chaos). Thus far, here’s the Alabama players who went out for the draft and didn’t get drafted, but have signed on with NFL squads:

OL Jaeden Roberts – Philadelphia Eagles

LB Deontae Lawson – Philadelphia Eagles

LB Nikhai Hill-Green – L.A. Rams

OL Kam Dewberry – Atlanta Falcons

DB DaShawn Jones – New Orleans Saints

So far, OL Geno VanDeMark, punter Blake Doud, running back Dre Washington, and tight end Brody Dalton are still looking for teams. I think VanDeMark will likely find his way onto a team, but the other three probably will not.

It was also a decent day for some former Tide players. who transferred elsewhere in their careers:

• S – Caleb Downs (Ohio State) – 1st round, pick 11 – Dallas Cowboys

• WR- Kendrick Law (Kentucky) – 5th round, pick 168 – Detroit Lions

And that’s pretty much it for this year! Hopefully we will see many of these names popping up across the NFL for years to come. Roll Tide to all!

JONESBORO, Ark. (KAIT) – An overnight shooting left one person injured at Arkansas State University in Jonesboro.

Todd Clark, chief marketing and communications officer at Arkansas State University, said Sunday that calls came in after 12 a.m. April 26.

Shortly after, an email was sent notifying the Arkansas State University community of an “active shooter” incident.

One woman was confirmed with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to the lower leg.

Additional reports indicated minor injuries, including scrapes and scratches, as the crowd dispersed.

K8 News was originally told that a second person had been shot.

Clark said there was “no active threat” and that the shooting was isolated to Unity Park.

He advised people to stay away from Unity Park on the Arkansas State University campus.

The shooting remains under investigation.
