Other partygoers stoned to death a gunman who opened fire at a party, killing one person and injuring three others. On Sunday, the unidentified suspect was at a house party in Fort Worth, Texas, when he apparently became enraged and fled.
He returned to the party in the Como neighbourhood shortly before 1 a.m. with a gun and fired in the backyard, striking at least one person. That’s when partygoers grabbed landscaping bricks from a pile and hurled them at the shooter, prompting him to flee, according to the Fort Worth Star Telegram.

However, the revellers were not finished with the gunman. They apprehended him and continued to assault him with bricks. The shooter then opened fire again, striking two additional people.
One of the shooting victims died at the scene, as did the gunman, who was struck multiple times by bricks, according to police.

Three people were transported to the hospital, one in critical condition and the other two suffering from non-life threatening injuries.
Dee Edwards, a neighbour, told the Star Telegram that she heard commotion outside her home and saw people fighting.
Debra Mobley, another neighbour, stated that she awoke to police lights.
‘First there was one light, then the whole street was filled with police lights,’ Mobley told the newspaper.
In a statement on Monday, Michael Crain, a councilman for District 3 which includes the neighborhood, said:
‘Crime is increasing across the board,’ Crain added.
The shooting took place on the 5600 block of Shiloh Drive.
