Fort Worth police are investigating a fatal shooting that occurred New Year\u2019s Day at a business along South Riverside Drive, leaving one woman dead and a security guard detained.<\/p>\n
Officers and Fort Worth Fire personnel responded to reports of a shooting in the 2600 block of South Riverside Drive, south of Interstate 30, at approximately 5:45 p.m. on January 1, according to police.<\/p>\n
First responders found an adult woman suffering from an apparent gunshot wound to the chest. Emergency medical crews attempted life-saving measures, but the woman was pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n
Police said the man involved in the shooting was working as a security guard at the location. He was detained at the scene and is cooperating with homicide detectives. Authorities said he has not been arrested.<\/p>\n
Sequence Of Events Under Review<\/p>\n
According to Fort Worth police, investigators determined the incident began when the security guard told the woman she needed to leave the property.<\/p>\n
Police said the woman argued with the guard and moved toward him, prompting the guard to deploy pepper spray. Investigators said the woman then retrieved a stabbing weapon from a nearby area and again advanced toward the guard.<\/p>\n
At that point, police said the guard fired his service weapon, striking the woman.<\/p>\n
Ongoing Investigation<\/p>\n
Homicide detectives are continuing to investigate the shooting. Police said evidence gathered so far indicates the incident was isolated and that there is no ongoing threat to the public.<\/p>\n
The woman\u2019s identity will be released by the Tarrant County Medical Examiner\u2019s Office after next of kin have been notified.<\/p>\n
