Police on Saturday were investigating a<span style="color: Red;">*</span>shooting at a non-profit dance studio in Fort Worth that left two people dead and several injured, media outlets reported.
One victim was found outside Studio 74, and several others were taken to hospitals,<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Fort Worth police spokesman Daniel Segura said in a statement,
according to the Associated Press. One of the victims died from his injuries, the statement said.
The studio's owner told AP the incident occurred during an unsanctioned<span style="color: Red;">*</span>party at the facility.
“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,” Laura Reyna, owner and artistic director of the studio, told AP. She<span style="color: Red;">*</span>said she didn’t<span style="color: Red;">*</span>know the group of about 60 people was there until a studio<span style="color: Red;">*</span>instructor<span style="color: Red;">*</span>called her at 12:45 a.m. to report a commotion at the facility.
The<span style="color: Red;">*</span>disturbance<span style="color: Red;">*</span>began<span style="color: Red;">*</span>in the studio and spilled outside where six people were shot, WFAA in Dallas reported.
A studio employee,<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Jason Moore, told AP he was working at the time of the incident and said he used a towel to compress the chest of one of the victims, who later died <span style="color: Red;">*</span>outside the front door.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>“He got hit in the lungs, so there was no coming back for him,” Moore told AP. He<span style="color: Red;">*</span>said several members of the group were carrying guns.
Studio 74's mission is to provide dance education programming and outreach for schoolkids K-12 in Fort Worth through in-school and after-school programs,<span style="color: Red;">*</span>as well as professional development, according to the
studio's website. Underserved areas are targeted with workshops and master classes in shopping centers, museums and parks.
The studio is located on a state highway near several<span style="color: Red;">*</span>businesses.
