A man was left fighting for his life after a gunshot incident in Haltom City this weekend. The shooting occurred in a home currently on the market, which was being shown to potential buyers throughout the day.

According to the Haltom City Police Department, the victim, a male, was found with a life-threatening gunshot wound at approximately 3:30 PM on Saturday in the 5800 block of Echo Bluff Dr. The injured party was promptly transported to a local hospital for emergency treatment.

The house, marked for sale, was host to potential buyers on Saturday, with the tragic event unfolding sometime between these scheduled tours.
