Officers arrived at the scene around 7:38 p.m., and found several victims with gunshot wounds in the parking lot. The victims’ age ranges from three to 19 years old.

Their injuries range from minor to severe. One person refused to be taken to the hospital after suffering a minor injury.

At a news conference, Fort Worth Police Chief Neil Noakes said this type of violence makes him sick to his stomach.

The Gang Violence Unit is investigating what’s believed to bean isolated incident and said there’s no threat to the community at large.
