"This business has become a dangerous nuisance," said Tarrant County Sheriff Bill Waybourn. "We've had several shooting incidents there over the last few years. This creates a dangerous situation for that community."
The three men injured in the gun battle are all facing charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon on a security officer, the sheriff's department said.
