A man accused of shooting at Fort Worth police officers<\/a> during a SWAT standoff outside his home a year and a half ago has been indicted by a Tarrant County grand jury.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday the Grand Jury returned indictments against Cameron Leverett on three counts of aggravated assault against a public servant and one count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon,\u201d the Tarrant County Criminal District Attorney\u2019s Office said in a statement Thursday.<\/p>\n

No officers were injured, but Leverett was shot multiple times and critically wounded when police returned fire. The suspect spent time in the hospital and was ordered to report to the Community Supervisions and Corrections Department upon his release, according to court documents. He bonded out of custody a short time later.<\/p>\n

An officer-involved shooting<\/p>\n

Police responded to the 5600 block of Seafield Lane in northwest Forth Worth the evening of Jan. 9, 2025, after receiving a desperate call:<\/p>\n

\u201cMy boyfriend\u2019s drunk, and he\u2019s banging his head against the wall, and he has a gun, and he\u2019s shot it multiple times<\/a>,\u201d the woman caller said, according to 911 audio released by the Fort Worth Police Department.<\/p>\n

When police arrived, the woman told them that Leverett had been firing his handgun, but he also had rifles inside. A shot could be heard from the house, according to footage from a responding officer\u2019s body camera.<\/p>\n

The officers told Leverett they wanted to get him help and instructed him to come out with his hands up and empty. Instead, he came out of the house and fired at the officers, police said.<\/p>\n

Another victim<\/p>\n

Leverett\u2019s former girlfriend who called 911 on the day of the shooting recently spoke to the Star-Telegram on the condition on anonymity out of concern for her safety. She said Leverett also fired his gun at her shortly before she called police for help.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I would have been like a foot over, I wouldn\u2019t be here today,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

According to the woman\u2019s account, Leverett was banging his head against the walls and windows the day of the shooting. She first hid in the bathroom but ran outside when Leverett tried to break down the door.<\/p>\n

She hadn\u2019t gone far when she heard a single gunshot. Leverett had recently threatened suicide \u2014 police said they responded to a mental health crisis at the house about a week before the shooting incident \u2014 and the girlfriend was worried he\u2019d carried through on his promise.<\/p>\n

She hurried back to the house, and Leverett opened the door. She said he shot his gun at the wall and then pointed the gun at her and fired.<\/p>\n

\u201cI could tell, like, he knew what he did,\u201d the woman said. She ran to a neighbor\u2019s house and called 911.<\/p>\n

The woman said she\u2019s struggled with anxiety and nightmares ever since and has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder.<\/p>\n

Now that she knows Leverett has been indicted on charges of firing at her and the three officers, she feels like she can finally breathe.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel a lot of relief,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Another woman who was formerly in a relationship with the suspect also released a statement after the indictment. She asked to remain anonymous due to safety concerns.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m relieved to see this case finally moving forward,\u201d the woman said. \u201cWhile this process has taken a long time, the women he allegedly harmed have been left trying to rebuild their lives, while he has been able to continue living his life, traveling, and seemingly carrying on without the same burden. I hope this case reaches a fair conclusion through the justice system. If he is convicted, I hope the sentence reflects the seriousness of the allegations and the impact they have had on the victims.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leverett\u2019s attorney, Christy Jack, did not return a request for comment Friday.<\/p>\n

An evidence exchange in the case is scheduled for July 29 at 9:30 a.m., according to Tarrant County court records.<\/p>\n
