A gunman opened fire on a large community gathering at historic Stop Six Park Saturday night, injuring a child, a Fort Worth police officer and two women, one of them critically. No suspects are in custody as investigators seek tips from the public.
The shooting occurred around 9:10 p.m. June 6 at the park in the 5200 block of East Rosedale Street. Police said a suspect dressed in all black emerged from between a nearby apartment complex and a business strip center, fired indiscriminately toward the crowd, and then fled back toward the apartments.
One woman suffered a gunshot wound to the head and was hospitalized in critical condition. An elderly woman was shot in the hip with non-life-threatening injuries. A child had a bullet graze their head and was also treated for non-life-threatening injuries. A Fort Worth officer sitting in a parked patrol vehicle nearby was struck in the neck by shrapnel after a bullet passed through the windshield; his injuries are not life-threatening.
