Fort Worth police said they’ll provide updates for two deadly shootings that happened the night of Saturday, July 25, and the morning of Sunday, July 26.<\/p>\n
Police are investigating two separate officer-involved shootings that happened less than 24 hours apart, leaving two people dead in unrelated incidents.<\/p>\n
The first shooting happened just after 8 p.m. Saturday in south Fort Worth along the South Freeway.<\/p>\n
Police said officers were looking for someone with a felony warrant who was accused of tampering with an ankle monitor. Officers located the person and attempted a traffic stop, but police said the encounter turned into a pursuit.<\/p>\n
According to police, the person eventually stopped in a parking lot and pulled out what officers believed was a gun. Officers then fired their weapons, killing the person.<\/p>\n
The second shooting happened just after 6 a.m. Sunday in west Fort Worth.<\/p>\n
Police said officers responded to a domestic violence call at an apartment complex after a man reportedly broke through the front door of an apartment and was fighting with a woman.<\/p>\n
According to police, the man had a knife to his throat and walked toward officers without stopping after they gave commands. Police said officers then shot and killed him.<\/p>\n
The two fatal officer-involved shootings, occurring within hours of each other, have left some people questioning what is happening in their neighborhoods.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fort Worth police said they’ll provide updates for two deadly shootings that happened the night of Saturday, July…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":392114,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[116,118,117,3346],"class_list":["post-392113","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-worth","tag-fort-worth","tag-fort-worth-headlines","tag-fort-worth-news","tag-shootings"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/392113","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=392113"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/392113\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/392114"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=392113"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=392113"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=392113"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
