3 Killed, 8 Injured in Shooting at Texas Festival

Three people were killed and eight others injured when shots were fired into a crowd of hundreds following a festival in a Texas neighborhood, authorities said. The shooting in the Fort Worth neighborhood of Como happened at about 11:47pm Monday, and police said a chaotic scene followed as people tried to flee on foot and in vehicles as shots rang out, the AP reports. The shooting happened just hours after the end of the Independence Day celebration called ComoFest in the historically Black neighborhood.

Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker said she was "devastated" by the news of the shooting. "My heart breaks for the victims, their loved ones, and the entire Como community that works to build positivity and celebration in their community and our city," Parker said on Twitter. Police said that responding officers found multiple victims in a parking lot, including one who was pronounced dead at the scene. Others were taken to hospitals by ambulance or private vehicles. One of the 11 victims is a juvenile, police said. No arrests had been made as of Tuesday. It was also unclear how many people may have opened fire.
