Someone in a red SUV pulled up behind them, rolled down the window and said something to the pair. Shots were fired at the red SUV as it drove away.

The neighborhood is already highly surveilled by the cameras most Sendera Ranch homeowners have installed on the houses.<\/p>\n<p>Flock cameras would capture images of cars passing though the area and <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"Follow nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.star-telegram.com\/news\/state\/texas\/article316402901.html\">retain the photos for 30 days<\/a> in a database accessible by law enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>Jamieson fully supports the idea, saying it would give law enforcement \u201ca critical tool to track criminal activity, deter bad actors, and prevent future incidents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.star-telegram.com\/profile\/301084309\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"author-thumb\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/RACHEL_ROYSTER.jpeg\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" alt=\"Profile Image of Rachel Royster\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>\n                    <\/a><\/p>\n<p>                <a class=\"author-name\" href=\"https:\/\/www.star-telegram.com\/profile\/301084309\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rachel Royster<\/a><\/p>\n<p>                    Fort Worth Star-Telegram<\/p>\n<p>            Rachel Royster is a news and government reporter for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, specifically focused on Tarrant County.
