Leaders of the Como community and Fort Worth police are launching a new effort to increase security around this year’s Comofest celebration on July 3.
The hours after last year's community festival saw a mass shooting take place on a nearby street, and community leaders are organizing a new event to bring more structure to the area
Some of those victims’ families blamed the violence on a lack of security among the huge crowds that stay in the area after Comofest ends, and they shared concerns about the festival continuing this year. “We had to become solutions-based,” said Marcus Hudson, the president of Legacy Lake Como. “This is something that’s been plaguing our community for decades.”
