For the first time, the Fort Worth civilian response unit deputy who was ambushed last week is sharing his story. Newly released body‑camera video shows the moment a burglary suspect opened fire, injuring Deputy Edward Zapata. Despite not wearing the same uniform as sworn officers, Zapata says his only focus during the attack was getting a woman to safety. His commitment to serving the community runs deep, and he hopes to return to duty once he recovers.
