A Fort Worth police officer and an arson investigator from the Fort Worth Fire Department shot and killed two armed men who were involved in an “altercation” early Wednesday morning, according to police.
The officer and arson investigator were part of a team handling fireworks calls, police said, and were responding to a call around 12:30 a.m. where they saw an “active altercation” near Ross Avenue and Northwest 32nd Street. The Fort Worth Police Department did not describe the nature of the altercation.
The officer and arson investigator “engaged two armed male subjects,” the police department said. “Both officers fired their duty handguns and both male subjects were shot.” The department did not provide any additional information about what led to the officer and arson investigator shooting the men.
