1 injured in shooting at Burleson gas station; suspect arrested after returning to scene, firing at officers

An investigation is underway after a man was shot in the face while changing a tire at a Burleson gas station, the Fort Worth Police Department confirmed Wednesday morning

The department told CBS News Texas that at about 12:25 a.m., officers were called to the incident in the 12400 block of South Fwy SR SB.

Officers said the victim was changing a tire while his girlfriend was sitting in the passenger side of the vehicle when another vehicle drove up, and gunfire erupted. The victim was hit in the mouth.

Police said a family member who was already heading to the gas station to help with the tire arrived when the victim was shot. That family member took the victim to a nearby hospital to be treated.

The name of the victim or the victim's condition hasn't been released.

FWPD said at about 1:55 a.m., as officers were at the gas station reviewing surveillance video, shots were fired in their direction.

A short time later, as officers were at the hospital interviewing the witnesses, more shots were fired in their direction.

Police said after speaking with the witnesses and gathering information about the suspect and suspect vehicle, they were able to identify him.

At about 3 a.m., while officers were still at the hospital, they saw a vehicle matching the suspect vehicle description drive by and began firing toward officers.

Then a police chase began. The suspect vehicle was found parked in a driveway after a homeowner called 911, and the suspect was taken into custody.

No officers were injured in the shooting. 

At this time, the details surrounding what led to the shooting or the suspect's name have not been revealed; however, police said they are investigating the motive of the crime.
