A Fort Worth police officer shot a man who was firing a gun toward homes during a domestic disturbance call on Bonita Drive Wednesday night, police said.
The wounded man was taken to a hospital and was in stable condition early Thursday morning, Police Chief Eddie Garcia said. No officers were injured.
The shooting occurred after officers were called to a house in the 4200 block of Bonita Drive about 9:40 p.m. According to a 911 call log, a caller reported that her boyfriend was assaulting her at that address.
When officers responded, they saw a man in the street firing gunshots in the direction of homes, Garcia said. The officers stopped and spoke to the man, who did not follow orders and approached the officers while still armed, the chief said.
One officer then fired and shot the man, Garcia said. Police will release more information about the investigation at a later news conference, he said.
This was the second shooting involving Fort Worth police this month. On March 12, an officer fatally shot a man who ran toward the officer with a broken glass bottle in his hand on a bridge on U.S. 287, police said.
