Texas Gunman Stoned to Death by Partygoers After Shooting Into Crowd, Killing 1 and Injuring 3
A Texas gunman was stoned to death by a mob of partygoers after opening fire and killing at least one from the party past midnight on Monday.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported that partygoers hurled concrete landscaping stones and bricks at the gunman who fired at the group.
At some point, authorities believed that the Texas gunman was chased and caught by a group of partygoers, making the suspect fall or was taken down by the mob.
Police said the shooter was then struck multiple times with at least one landscaping brick and was pronounced dead at the scene. The Texas gunman has yet to be identified by the authorities.
No one was arrested after the incident. However, authorities noted that the medical examiner would still have to determine if the Texas gunman lost his life by stones, FOX 4 reported.
Texas Gunman Opens Fire at Crowd of Party Goers
The shooting incident happened in the 5600 block of Shiloh Drive at Fort Worth's Como neighborhood at around 1 a.m. Monday, July 26.
Police said the Texas gunman attended the party and became upset and left. Daily Mail reported that he returned with another person and got into an argument with several people.
Armed with a gun, he opened fire in the backyard, injuring at least one person. The Texas gunman then fled, but he was pursued by the partygoers, who grabbed landscaping bricks and started throwing them at him.
The partygoers soon caught up with the shooter, who opened fire again, hitting three more people.
Tracy Carter of the Fort Worth Police District has a clear warning about the crowd's reaction. He said they should let the authorities handle the situation, and they do not advise "someone going after someone who has a gun."
Carter noted that the group of partygoers picked up what they call "stone pavers," which are used to build easily accessible surfaces for driveways, walkways, patios, and pool decks.
"I don't want to say [that the stones] maybe used as defense, but that's what they were able to throw at the gunman," Carter said.
Victims of the Recent Texas Shooting
The three injured victims were reportedly brought to a hospital. However, authorities did not provide their names. Officials confirmed that one person was in critical condition while the two victims sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
"Last night's incident could have happened anywhere in the city, it just happened in Como," 3rd District Councilman Michael Crain said in a statement.
Crain then recalled a shooting incident near a car on Horne Street on July 4 that victimized at least eight individuals.
Police were also investigating another shooting incident in the same neighborhood that happened on Sunday, July 25. Fox 4 reported that community leaders in Como were eager to see an end to what they call "senseless shootings."
