Texas Rangers investigating after suspect shot, killed after being served warrant at Fort Worth apartment, officials say

The Texas Rangers are investigating a shooting that left a suspect dead late Tuesday morning in far north Fort Worth. 

Initial details came from the Fort Worth Police Department in a post on X that was shared around 11:15 a.m. The department said the shooting happened at 35 West at Champions Circle Apartments in the 3600 block of Outlet Boulevard, which is located near the Tanger Outlets off of I-35W. 

Helicopter footage captured by CBS News Texas showed law enforcement officers responding to the scene. 

Officials told CBS News Texas that members of the Texas Attorney General's Office were serving a warrant when the suspect attacked officers, and the suspect, who has not been identified, was fatally shot. 

Fort Worth Police said there was no ongoing threat to the public. 

A resident who lives at the complex said she was rattled by the incident.

"Just the thought in the back of my mind that this could have happened even in a worse scenario, or it could have happened closer to me. Bullets could have just gone through my apartment," said Brittany Doyle. 

In a brief news release shared Tuesday afternoon, Texas DPS confirmed Rangers were investigating, but could not share further information at the time.
