Manhunt underway after reports of a 'targeted' Chick-fil-A shooting in Texas: police
2024-06-27
[FoxNews] Texas police are searching for a homicide suspect after two people were reportedly killed in a Chick-fil-A restaurant on Wednesday afternoon.

Irving Police Department announced that Bernardo Mendoza Argueta, 37, is suspected of shooting at least two people in the 5300 block of North MacArthur Blvd in Irving, Texas. According to FOX 4 Dallas, the location was a Chick-fil-A restaurant.

Authorities confirmed the shooting in a statement to Fox News Digital. In a statement, an Irving Police Department spokesperson explained that officers were alerted to the situation at around 3:50 p.m. on Wednesday.

"When officers arrived on the scene, they found two individuals with gunshot wounds," the spokesperson said. "Both individuals were pronounced deceased at the scene by Irving Fire medics."

"The suspect fled before the officers' arrival," the official added.

At this stage in the investigation, police believe the shooting was targeted.

The suspect has been identified as Bernardo Mendoza Argueta, 37.

Locals are being asked to look out for a silver 1997 Honda vehicle with a Texas license plate reading GVH6205. Police warn that the suspect may still be armed, and residents are asked to contact 911 immediately if they see him.

#8  ^ Illegal
The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency has placed a detainer on Argueta, requesting custody of him if he is released from Irving Police Department custody at any time. It is unclear how or when Argueta first arrived in the United States from El Salvador.

#3  This has gang related written all over it. The venue just happened to be where the shooter found his targets.

When the police say either "targeted shooting" or "the victims were known to the police" it means that it was gang related.
