Responding to calls of the shooting in the 8500 block of Steel Dust Drive, Fort Worth police discovered three boys, ages 17, 5 and 18 months with gunshot wounds.
Despite medical treatment at the scene and transport to nearby hospitals officials said 17-year-old Jamarrien Monroe and 5-year-old Rayshard Scott died. The 18-month-old victim suffered minor injuries and is expected to survive.
Fort Worth police are reporting an unknown number of individuals drove to the location where they fired at a group of individuals in the front yard, injuring the three young victims.
