Fort Worth shooting – live: Two victims identified in ComoFest attack in Texas

CBS
2 dead, 6 injured in west Fort Worth shooting

Dramatic footage has captured the chaotic moment that gunfire erupted at Fort Worth’s ComoFest on the eve of July 4, leaving three victims dead.

The video shows terrified revellers fleeing as shots are fired into the crowd.

Police in Fort Worth, Texas, said that no suspects have been identified but that “several unknown males were reported to have started firing into the crowd indiscriminately and then fled the scene”.

Two of the three victims killed were identified on Tuesday as Cynthia Santos, 22, and Paul Willis, 18.

The incident marked just one of four shootings that left at least 17 people shot – three of them fatally – in Fort Worth, Texas, on the night of July 3.

The other three shoootings took place at a home, an AMC movie theatre, and in a car.

Following a wave of shootings this week, President Joe Biden renewed his calls for Congress to act and “come to the table on meaningful, common sense reform” on gun control.
