Police arrested two men aged 19 and 20 on suspicion of murder in the shooting at a Texas street festival on the eve of the Fourth of July that killed three people and wounded eight others, Fort Worth Police Chief Neil Noakes said. | Reuters
The shooting broke out Monday just before midnight at Como Fest, a tradition in Fort Worth celebrating the Como neighborhood’s African American history.
Witnesses heard a barrage of gunfire that some initially believed was fireworks but soon led to a stampede for safety, the Dallas Morning News reported. The Como neighborhood had been on edge since the shooting, although defiant neighbors and community leaders went ahead with their July Fourth parade hours after the shooting.Noakes said he attended a community meeting on Thursday night that resembled a “therapy session.”
“We heard about the trauma. We heard about the heartache. We heard from so many family members of those who died that day,” Noakes said. “But we also heard about the resilience of the Como community. Despite the young lives that were taken, we saw a community that stood tall, rallied around one another, and loved one another.”There were a number of mass shootings elsewhere in the United States in the run-up to the Fourth of July.
