SUMMARY: The agency managing the state power grids in Texas has issued a voluntary energy conservation alert due to intense heat across the state. The grid has held up so far, but there are concerns about the strain caused by consecutive days of triple-digit temperatures. Energy experts believe that supply will meet demand, but conservation is still encouraged in case of unexpected breakdowns. The peak demand on Thursday came close to the all-time record, but the grid has remained stable. Despite even hotter temperatures forecasted for the next day, experts believe there will be enough supply and do not anticipate a grid issue.

ERCOT sent out an alert Thursday asking people to voluntarily conserve energy. The grid held up, but we have several more days of intense heat across the state.

SUMMARY: During a deadly shooting at a Fort Worth car wash on July 4th, a bystander's intervention might have prevented further casualties. The altercation began when 27-year-old Canard Murphy, who had prior domestic violence issues, fought with a relative of his 11-month-old daughter's mother at a gathering. Murphy pulled out a rifle and started shooting, killing three innocent bystanders: two young girls and 42-year-old Terell Win. Murphy was ultimately shot by an unknown person, causing him to drop the rifle, and another individual secured it. Murphy faces multiple capital murder charges and is currently hospitalized, delaying his booking into jail.

Court documents obtained by FOX 4 reveal more about what led to a Fort Worth shooting on the Fourth of July that killed three people, including a 4-year-old and 1-year-old.
