What they’re saying<\/p>\n
Andrea Thompson, a customer at the gas station, said she could only imagine what people were experiencing at the time.<\/p>\n
“I can only imagine what they were going through and what was happening at the time,” Thompson said.<\/p>\n
Thompson said she would not expect to encounter a deadly shooting while stopping for gas or ice.<\/p>\n
“Like you would just expect to come see that just by just coming to just get gas or just get some ice,” she said.<\/p>\n
She also expressed concern about young people dying or going to prison.<\/p>\n
“I mean, we’re losing so many young people either to death or to prison, and it’s just sad,” Thompson said.<\/p>\n
Local perspective<\/p>\n
One neighbor said the circumstances were difficult to understand.<\/p>\n
“I mean, if they were hurt that bad, I don’t. I don’t even know what to say. I mean, you know, but they could have died anywhere. I mean, but all the way to Fort Worth. To a gas station, and they started here. That’s crazy,” the neighbor said.<\/p>\n
Another resident said the gunfire has caused him to reconsider living at the apartment complex, especially with children nearby.<\/p>\n
“If somebody they get into an argument or a fight over there, and the kids are playing here. One of these little kids might take a bullet, you know, and that’s been having nothing to do with it,” the neighbor said.<\/p>\n
What’s next<\/p>\n
Police are still trying to determine what happened to the 18-year-old man. No arrests have been made.<\/p>\n
Because the initial offense occurred in Arlington, Fort Worth police are referring questions about the shooting to the Arlington Police Department.<\/p>\n
