Overview
- Fort Worth officers responding to gunfire on Wiman Drive early Saturday confronted a man who police say pointed a handgun at them, and he died after an officer opened fire.
- Hours later, as officers worked that scene, a white SUV repeatedly sped past them, prompting a 15-minute pursuit that ended off Loop 820 near East Lancaster Avenue.
- Police say they stopped the SUV with a PIT maneuver, a tactic that spins a fleeing car to a halt, then the driver grabbed an officer’s gun and multiple officers shot him, killing him.
- One officer was injured during the second encounter and taken to a hospital in good condition, as the department’s Major Case Unit leads both ongoing investigations and has not said if the cases are connected.
- The medical examiner has not released either man’s name, neighbors reported bullets striking a home and heavy blood at the first scene, and police asked for tips through FWPD or Tarrant County Crime Stoppers.
