Two of the victims were transported to a local hospital for treatment, and a third was treated at the scene, police said.
"A lot of gunfire and screaming," is what Lawrance White said he and his family heard Wednesday night. "We were in the living room watching television and we saw it happening and everybody ran to the back."
It's a good thing they did because bullets came flying through their windows and the outdoor brick on the wall of their unit. White's apartment faces the courtyard where the shooting happened.

"It was the right decision -- stopped, dropped and roll, get out of the way because bullets don't have names. Try to stay out of harm's way as much as possible," said White.
A bullet hit his TV, the wall and a china cabinet inside his living room. White said his three grandkids, all under the age of 10, were home at the time, too.
“Overwhelmed that my babies didn’t get hurt; nobody got hurt and relieved about that it’s a blessing to be alive. I just thank God that none of us got hurt," White said.
Fort Worth Police didn't have any new updates on Thursday as the investigation continues. It's unclear who pulled the trigger, how many people were involved, the relationship between the victims or what led up to the shooting.
"Being in this neighborhood, this is something you’re kind of used to, popping off in the air trying to scare one another, no this was pretty serious," said White who believes the shooting escalated from an altercation earlier that day.
"The violence has got to stop, everybody got guns, and that's where everybody wants to solve it with guns, it's really got to stop," said White.
"I'm sorry for the family," said White about the man who was killed who he believes had children of his own. "I pray for their family for strength and be able to survive and get through all of that."
