Fort Worth Police shoot, kill man department says tried to hit officers with SUV while investigating another officer-involved shooting

The Fort Worth Police Department is investigating a deadly shooting involving an officer just hours after another similar incident unfolded in the city, and the department said the second incident happened as officers were still investigating the previous scene.

The department shared initial details on X around 5 a.m., saying it happened along I-820 Northbound near the exit to East Lancaster Avenue. While more specific details were not immediately available, Fort Worth Police did say the shooting happened after a pursuit. A member of the CBS News Texas team captured video of the scene, which appeared to be near a construction zone along the interstate.

Later in the morning, Fort Worth Police said that this second shooting, which also ended with a suspect dead, began at the scene of the first shooting around 4:15 a.m. The department said as officers were still investigating the scene along Wiman Drive, a man driving an SUV sped by officers, at one point allegedly trying to hit them. A chase ensued for about 15 minutes and onto I-820. Police said they were able to stop the driver by using a PIT maneuver.

The department said officers approached with guns drawn and gave orders, which the man reportedly did not obey. At one point, police said the man grabbed an officers handgun, and multiple officers opened fire, hitting the suspect.

While police said medical aid was provided, the suspect was declared dead at the scene. As of publication, he has not been identified.

Fort Worth Police also noted that one officer was injured during the incident and taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. While it's not known how the officer was hurt, the department said the officer was listed as being in good condition.

Detectives from the Major Case Unit are continuing the investigation. Anyone who can offer additional information is asked to call Fort Worth Police at 817-392-4222. Anonymous tips can also be shared by calling Tarrant County Crime Stoppers at 817-469-8477 or via their website.

This shooting happened roughly five hours after the department said an officer shot and killed a man who reportedly pointed a firearm at officers responding to reports of gunfire along Wiman Drive, located in a neighborhood about 4 miles southwest of the scene along I-820. That scene unfolded shortly after midnight.
