Fort Worth police responded to multiple shootings across the city that injured at least four people early Friday, officials said.

Officers responded to the 3200 block of New York Avenue about 2:35 a.m. after a 911 caller reported a drive-by shooting. The house was hit by gunfire, police said, and two residents were injured by shrapnel. They were both taken to a hospital for treatment.

No suspects have been arrested. Detectives from the Gun Violence Unit will investigate the shooting, according to police.

In another incident, officers found a man who’d been shot in the upper thigh at an apartment complex in the 6400 block of Wildwood Circle in west Fort Worth. He tried to drive off after the shooting but hit a parked car, according to police. Medical personnel took him to a hospital for treatment.

The suspect in that case ran from the scene and is still at large. The Gun Violence Unit will investigate the shooting.

Around 20 police units responded to the Valley Motel at 1850 Jacksboro Highway starting about 5:25 a.m. A woman there was shot in the stomach by an unknown person, according to police.

About eight units were still at the scene as of 8:30 a.m., according to the 911 call sheet. The injured woman was taken to a hospital. Police said they are still looking for the shooter.

A fourth shooting occurred about 3:10 a.m. in the 6200 block of Hulen Bend Boulevard in the west part of the city. A woman told officers she was parked outside a convenience store when a black sport utility vehicle partly blocked her in, according to police.

The SUV followed the woman when she drove away, and its occupants fired at her car. A 911 caller at a nearby apartment complex reported hearing eight shots, according to the call sheet.

The woman wasn’t hurt, even though her vehicle was struck several times, police said. It’s not clear what led to the shooting. No arrests have been announced.
