People at a party in Fort Worth, Texas, stoned a man to death after he opened fire and fatally shot one person early Monday morning, police said.
The Fort Worth police said in a statement that a “small gathering” was taking place at a home around 1 a.m. Monday when one attendee “became upset and left the gathering,” before returning with another person.
The attendee then shot one person, causing a non-life-threatening injury, and partygoers “then gave chase to the shooter,” police said.

The shooter then turned and fired at them, and the partygoers then picked up landscaping bricks and started “throwing them” at the gunman, the police said.
The shooter ended up on the ground, either by falling or being dragged down by the crowd, and continued shooting — hitting at least two people, one fatally, the police said.
“The shooter was struck multiple times with at least one landscaping brick and was pronounced dead at the scene,” the statement said.
Along with the shooter, one victim was pronounced dead at the scene and another was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
None of the people’s identities have not yet been released.
