July 4 (Reuters) - At least three people were killed and eight wounded in a mass shooting in Fort Worth, Texas, after a local festival, officials said on Tuesday, in the latest incident of gun violence around the Fourth of July holiday.
The shooting took place just before midnight on Monday in a parking lot, police confirmed on Tuesday.
One person was pronounced dead at the scene and two others died in the hospital, while an additional eight people were hospitalized but their conditions were not known, CBS News reported. An ABC News affiliate said 10 of the victims were adults and one was a juvenile.

Trump easily won Texas by 9 points in 2016.
Biden cut that margin nearly in half in 2020.

President Donald Trump carried Texas on Tuesday as national results continue to show him and former Vice President Joe Biden in a neck-and-neck race.
The Republican incumbent was poised to win Texas’ 38 electoral votes — 52% to 46.6%, based on returns from early voting, Decision Desk HQ data showed. Early returns don’t include votes cast on Election Day. Polls have shown that Republicans are more likely to vote in person on Election Day than Democrats.
Trump’s margin over Biden marks the second-closest Texas race for the White House of the last quarter century. In 1996, GOP nominee Bob Dole beat Bill Clinton by 5 points. Trump prevailed over Hillary Clinton in Texas by 9 points in 2016.

I’d not care so much, but my gun rights are at stake too.
