Texas authorities have arrested two people in connection to a Monday night shooting that left three dead and eight others injured, police chief says
The suspects, 20-year-old Christopher Redic Jr. and 19-year-old Brandon Williams, were taken into custody on murder charges, Fort Worth Police Department Chief Neil Noakes said during a news conference. Ten of the victims in the Monday shooting were adults and one was a minor, according to a news release from the Fort Worth Police Department’s homicide unit. Officers found multiple people shot in a parking lot in the Horne Street area of the Como neighborhood, police said.
Fort Worth police said in a news release Tuesday afternoon, investigators believe “none of the injured were suspects in the shooting.” Police said “several unknown males were reported to have started firing into the crowd indiscriminately and then fled the scene.” The deadly gunfire in Fort Worth is one of at least 361 mass shootings in the nation this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive.
