A man was arrested after Fort Worth SWAT officers responded to his home on Friday afternoon, officials with the Fort Worth Police Department said.
Officers had been called to the residence in the 800 block of San Miguel Trail on Thursday and found “an individual experiencing a crisis,” according to a statement. The department’s Crisis Intervention Team was notified and responded to the residence.
No criminal offense had been committed, so officers generated a report and made a plan to visit the following day, per department protocol, police said.
When CIT officers returned to the residence on Friday, the individual barricaded himself in the home. While waiting for additional resources to arrive, officers heard gunshots from inside the residence.
Fort Worth Police SWAT and Directed Response units were called to the residence, and the man exited the residence after “several hours” of communication. He was taken into custody without incident and transported to an area hospital for evaluation, police said.
It is unknown whether the shots fired were directed at officers or just random gunfire, according to the statement. Police did not state what charges the man will face.
