4 wounded in gunfight between patrons, security at Temptations Cabaret; 3 people arrested
Four people suffered gunshot wounds Thursday morning outside Temptations Cabaret after gunshots were exchanged between a group of patrons and security guards working for the strip club, according to the Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office.
Three people involved in the gun battle have been arrested, authorities said.
The wounded people were taken to local hospitals for injuries that authorities said were not life-threatening.
In an update Friday afternoon, a sheriff’s office spokesman said the four people who were injured are all expected to make full recoveries. One is a woman who works at the business. The other three were men who were patrons of the club. Those three men were arrested on scene and deputies followed ambulances to the hospitals where the suspects were transported, the sheriff’s office said.
The three suspects, whose names have not been released, face charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon on a security officer.
“This business has become a dangerous nuisance,” said Tarrant County Sheriff Bill Waybourn in a Thursday news release. “We’ve had several shooting incidents there over the last few years. This creates a dangerous situation for that community.”
Deputies with the Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office, assisted by Fort Worth police, responded to reports of gunshots at about 4:35 a.m. Thursday at the club in the 12,200 block of Camp Bowie West Boulevard.
Preliminary information indicated there was a fight at the club which spilled outside, which was when gunshots were exchanged between a group of patrons and club security.
