Original release sent 3/23/14 at 11:30 a.m.:
The Arlington Police Department is investigating a fatal shooting that occurred early this morning. At about 1:30 a.m. Sunday, March 23, 2014, officers were dispatched to the 2700 block of Majesty Drive in response to a shooting call. Officers arrived and learned that there had been an altercation inside the bar that prompted employees to escort the crowd into the parking lot. Outside the business, witnesses described seeing a man shooting at a group of people.
The crowd disbursed, the shooting suspect fled, and four people had injuries resulting from the shooting. Three people – all men -were driven by ambulance to Medical Center of Arlington, and a fourth man was driven in a personal vehicle to Texas General Hospital in Grand Prairie and later transferred to John Peter Smith Hospital. One of the men who were transported to Medical Center of Arlington died from his injuries. The three other shooting victims do not appear to have life threatening injuries.
The name of the deceased man, who is in his mid-20s, will be released by the Tarrant County Medical Examiner once he has been positively identified and next of kin has been notified.
It is not yet clear if the victims were specifically targeted, or if they or the suspect were involved in the altercation that occurred inside the bar. Detectives continue to speak to multiple witnesses and the injured victims.
