Gunfire rattled a south Fort Worth block yesterday after what police believe started as an argument inside a home and ended with a suspect shooting into the house and taking off.
Officers were called to a residence in the 3700 block of Century Place, where they found a person with gunshot wounds to the neck and leg. The victim was taken to a hospital and listed in stable condition. Investigators say the shooting appears to have followed an earlier altercation at the home.
How the shooting unfolded
Police say officers were dispatched around 1:44 p.m. to the 3700 block of Century Place and arrived to find the victim suffering from gunshot wounds to the neck and leg inside the residence. According to investigators, a dispute had broken out earlier at the address, and a suspect later returned and fired into the home before fleeing. That person remained at large as of the latest update, as reported by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
