Fort Worth Police Sgt. Jason Spencer told reporters there was a "large crowd gathering" in the parking lot at the time of the shooting just before midnight.
"I am devastated by the news of a mass shooting in Fort Worth last night," Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker posted on social media, encouraging those with information to reach out to police. "My heart breaks for the victims, their loved ones, and the entire Como community that works to build positivity and celebration in their community and our city."

The incident marks the latest mass shooting in a major city over the holiday weekend. On Monday right, a heavily armed gunman in a bulletproof vest opened fire in Philadelphia, killing five people and wounding two before surrendering, police said. On Sunday in Baltimore, two people were killed and 28 others wounded in a shooting at a holiday weekend block party.
"Over the last few days, our nation has once again endured a wave of tragic and senseless shootings in communities across America - from Philadelphia to Fort Worth, Baltimore to Lansing, Wichita to Chicago," President Biden said in a statement Tuesday. "Today, Jill and I grieve for those who have lost their lives and, as our nation celebrates Independence Day, we pray for the day when our communities will be free from gun violence."
