Four Teens Detained After Fort Worth Road-Rage Shooting and Police Chase

Flock camera data led officers to the vehicle, yielding two guns with four juveniles detained pending interviews.

Overview

  • Police responded to reports of gunfire at a home in the 3400 block of Thannisch Avenue after one person was injured by shattered glass when bullets struck the front door.
  • Investigators say the incident began as a road-rage dispute in which one driver followed another to the residence and occupants of the suspect vehicle fired toward a family outside the house.
  • Fort Worth Police Real Time Crime Center entered a vehicle description into the Flock camera network and received a hit that helped officers locate the suspect car.
  • Officers attempted a stop but the vehicle fled and a pursuit ended near the 1900 block of Handley-Ederville Road after officers saw a weapon thrown and later recovered two handguns from the car.
  • Four juveniles between 14 and 16 years old were detained and will be interviewed by detectives, and authorities have not yet announced what charges, if any, the teens will face.
