FORT WORTH, Texas — One person is dead and another is hospitalized after a gunfight between the two on the Fourth of July near Lake Arlington, Fort Worth police said.
According to the Fort Worth Police Department, officers were called at about 8:18 p.m. to the shooting in the 5900 block of Wilbarger Street.
There was a large gathering at the location, police said, where the two men were reportedly arguing over a woman when they both pulled out guns and shot each other.
The two men involved were the only people shot, police said. One was pronounced dead on the scene, while the other was taken to a local hospital. His condition isn’t currently known.
Neither of the men have been identified as of Saturday night. The Tarrant County Medical Examiner will identify the man killed once next of kin has been notified.
Police say they believe the shooting was an isolated event between people known to each other.
One man, named A.D., told WFAA he was at the event, which he said was a fighting event. He said a fight had broken outside of the cage and gunfire went off shortly afterward, causing everyone in attendance to scramble.
“Every year on the Fourth of July, stuff happen like this,” A.D. said. “I feel sorry for the family.”
