A tragic sequence of events unfolded Sunday night in Forney, Texas, when a woman was found shot to death in a garage, an incident that appears to have not only ended her life but also led to another fatality in Arlington. The Forney police received a call around 10:30 p.m. and discovered the woman with gunshot wounds in a garage located at the 100 block of Mandarin Street, according to WFAA.
The Forney Police Department, steadfast in its efforts, has started to unravel the events leading up to the shootings. The deceased woman, whom police have yet to publicly name pending notification of her family, died at the scene. Evidence found on site suggested that the shooter had also been injured and fled the scene, as detailed by WFAA.
This tragedy took an added turn when another body was found in Arlington mere hours later. The Arlington police, who were alerted by Forney about the shooting, discovered another individual shot to death. Both the Forney and Arlington police departments have now determined that there is a connection between the two deaths, though they have released only limited details about the incident at this point. The investigations are receiving assistance from the Texas Rangers, an indication of the gravity of the situation.
Detectives are piecing together the grim tapestry of these events, looking to fully understand the connection between the two fatalities. Officials are, however, confident that there is no threat to the public. The police are appealing for anyone with information regarding the shooting to come forward and contact the Forney Police Department, as per The Dallas Morning News.
