Where the call was placed
City development records list 6609 S Hulen St as the address for "The Nolan" apartment complex, which places the reported shooting call inside a residential building instead of one of the nearby retail centers. That listing comes from the City of Fort Worth's Certificate of Occupancy files, according to City of Fort Worth records.
Hulen corridor has seen recent shootings
The Hulen corridor has seen other shootings in recent years, including a Dec. 6, 2025 incident at Hulen Mall that left one person hospitalized, per reporting by The Dallas Morning News. That episode, along with other incidents in the area, has fueled periodic calls for stepped-up patrols and heightened concern about safety along South Hulen Street.
Fort Worth police are asking anyone with information about the South Hulen scene to contact the department. The FWPD website lists 817-392-4222 as the non-emergency number and 911 for emergencies, according to the Fort Worth Police Department. The department's public relations office can also be reached through the contact details provided on its official site.
Details about the shooting remain scarce, and officials have not released information on possible injuries, suspects, or arrests. Police said they expect to share further updates through their official channels as more information becomes available.
