    CNN – An estimated 600 people were at a Texas park Sunday when fireworks went off and gunshots rang out.

    Fort Worth Police responded to Village Creek Park just before 7 p.m. and found five people injured, Public Information Officer Buddy Calzada said during a press briefing Sunday night.

    There were about 600 people in the park when fireworks exploded. Witnesses told police that they heard 30 rounds of gunfire immediately after the fireworks, according to Calzada.

    Responding officers found five people with injuries and transported them all to local hospitals. Three suffered non-life threatening injuries and two others are in critical condition, Calzada said.

    "The best thing we can do for them is obviously pray and ... get them some medical care right now," Calzada said of the victims.

    There was no additional information regarding the victims or possible suspects given during the press briefing.

    The police department's gang unit is taking the lead, and state and federal partners are assisting with the investigation, according to Calzada.

    The Stay at Home order in Texas expired May 1 and plans for the easing of additional restrictions have been laid out for the state. While parks in the city are open, people are still encouraged to social distance.

    As for the large crowd, Calzada explained that while the department works to tell people to follow social distancing rules, they try not to enforce with citations.

    "We've been stating that everyone would follow the rules that have been set out," Calzada said. "We've tried to work with everybody to not try to cite them or ticket them but ultimately people have a choice and that's just the choice they made tonight."

    You need to take your orange glasses off once in a while, and take a realistic look at the situation.

    so, you're being a dick and negging random posts in return for being negged on your stupid posts?

    such a thinned skinned pussy. what do you think would happen to you if those of us that you negged in return for your dumbass posts, followed up and went neg for neg on you? oh yeah, you'd have to create a sock cause you'd get negged banned.

    #1 I doubt you’d be able to leave Baylor out.

    #2 If you were to decide between Baylor and TCU, Baylor is a lot more valuable to keep.

    would the Big 12/PAC merger want a history of murder, rape, and art briles apologists or TCU? 

    TCU is the correct answer. Leave baylor behind, let them wither without P5 support, it's what they deserve.

    COLLEGE STATION, Tex. (KBTX) - College Station police have arrested Vernon Jackson, 20, for assault family violence strangulation. 

    According to online police records, Jackson went over to a woman’s home on March 4 to look for his wallet. While he was there, he demanded the woman give him the passcode to her phone.

    The police report says that the woman denied Jackson's request, and then Jackson repeatedly choked her and prevented her from breathing. He also allegedly slammed her head against the floor.

    The woman reportedly had bruises on her arms and throat. Jackson told police the argument never got physical.

    Jackson was recruited to play football for Texas A&M University in 2018. Texas A&M Athletics confirms Jackson is an enrolled student at A&M but hasn’t played football since his injury last year.

    Officials with the athletic department say protocol will be enacted following these allegations. 

     

     

    yeah, he'll be suspended for all football summer activities

    Who says you cannot recruit OOS in a dead period while there is a global pandemic?

    All you need is a smile big bag of money, some effort, and a can-do attitude, and you can make anything happen.

    Yeah, no argument there but National Beer of Texas and and best beer in Texas aren't the same thing.  Lone Star gets points for historical significance. 

    National Beer of Texas, the way the Cowboys are America's Team??

    a self given title, that they advertise and market to have people think that it's real?

    LOL, I'm named after the state nickname (I was Leander Horn back on the old site), not the name of the beer.
