At leat three people have been killed and eight others wounded in a mass shooting at a July 4 fireworks display in Fort Worth, Texas. The massacre unfolded just before midnight on Monday night as revellers gathered to enjoy Independence Day celebrations in the area of Diaz Avenue and Horne Street in Fort Worth’s Como neighbourhood. Fort Worth Police said that investigators believe someone opened fire into the crowd, hitting at least 11 people and sending terrified revellers running for their lives. “We had a shooting. It appears that we had multiple victims that were shot. Probably three of them were transported to Harris Southwest,” said Fort Worth Police Captain Shawn Murray in a press conference. “Five more victims were transported to John Peter Smith.” Police said that emergency responders struggled to reach the victimes due to the large crowds of people and the number of vehicles in the area. Instead, officers loaded victims into their patrol cars and drove them to waiting paramedics, police said. One shooting victim was pronounced dead at the scene while the other 10 were rushed to hospital, reported WFAA. Two other victims were pronounced dead taking the death toll up to three. The identities of the victims are currently unknown but one of the 11 is believed to be a juvenile. No arrests have been made and the identities of the shooter or shooters remain unknown. Capt. Murray said that investigators are working to determine what led up to the shooting and how many people opened fire. “We don’t if this was domestic related or gang related. It’s too early to tell,” he said. “We just know someone shot a bunch of times. We don’t know if it was a single shooter or more than one shooter. “We hope it is just a single shooter and not a crossfire situation. Homicide will figure that out... how many shooters there were.” The mass shooting came just hours after the neighbourhood’s annual ComoFest came to an end. This isn’t the first time Fort Worth’s ComoFest ended in tragedy. Two years ago in 2021, eight people were shot close to a car wash on Horne Street during the celebrations. All shooting victims survived back then. Anyone with information or videos in connection to Monday’s shooting is asked to call Fort Worth Police at 817-392-4330. You could also call Crime Stoppers of Tarrant County at 817-469-8477.

George Russell was confirmed as Lewis Hamilton’s new team-mate at Mercedes on this day in 2021. The much-anticipated announcement came after Valtteri Bottas sealed a move to Alfa Romeo for 2022. English driver Russell, then 23, earned the switch to the Silver Arrows after three impressive campaigns with Williams. Commenting on his blockbuster transfer, Russell said: “It’s a special day for me personally and professionally. “I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t absolutely buzzing. It’s a huge opportunity and one I want to grab with both hands. “But I’m under no illusions as to the scale of the challenge; it’s going to be a steep learning curve. “I want to do my new team-mates proud. Of course, one of those new team-mates is in my opinion the greatest driver of all time. “I’ve looked up to Lewis since I was in go-karts and the opportunity to learn from someone who has become a role model both on and off track can only benefit me as a driver, a professional, and a human being.” In a message posted on Instagram, seven-time world champion Hamilton said: “I want to take a moment to welcome George Russell to the team. “I remember meeting him when he was young, dreaming of one day being a Formula One driver. I’d only just reached my own dream of becoming an F1 driver, so I know what this day means and how it will feel for him. “He is a great example to all the kids out there that dreams do come true when you chase them wholeheartedly. “Through hard work he has rightly earned his spot on our team. I look forward to seeing him grow as a driver with this great team and working with him to raise Mercedes higher. See you next year.” In his first season with Mercedes, Russell landed his maiden victory at the penultimate round in Brazil. He also outscored Hamilton. Ahead of last weekend’s Italian Grand Prix, Mercedes announced Russell, 25, will continue to partner Hamilton, 38, at Mercedes until at least the end of 2025.
