2 Dead and several others wounded in Texas dance studio shooting

US: Two people have been killed and several others wounded in a shooting at a Texas dance studio during a party involving a group of about 60 people on Saturday morning.


In a statement by Fort Worth police spokesman Daniel Segura, The police found one victim dead outside Studio 74 in Fort Worth, and several people were taken to hospitals, one of whom died from his injuries.

Owner of the studio Laura Reyna, described it as an unauthorized event. She said she didn’t even know the group was there until one of her instructors called her at 12:45am to report a problem at the studio.

“I would consider it trespassing just for the fact that as the owner and operator of this facility I did not know, nor was there an exchange of any formal contract for people to be inside there,” 

28 year old Jason Moore, an employee of the studio who was working at the time of the incident said he used a towel to press the chest of one of the victims, who died later in the studio front door.

“He got hit in the lungs, so there was no coming back for him,” Mr Moore said.

Moore said several members of the group were armed with guns and that shooting happened at about midnight. Ms Reyna said Mr Moore did not know that the group wasn’t supposed to be at the studio.

Homicide detectives are carrying out investigation at the studio, said Ms Segura.
