Fort Worth police public information officers are on scene at an officer-involved shooting in the 9000 block of S Freeway, with media staging set up on the adjacent service road. The department says investigators are still gathering information, and there are no confirmed reports yet of injuries or arrests.
The Fort Worth Police Department first alerted the public on X, directing news crews to stage on the service road and repeating that “additional details will be provided once information is gathered.” For now, that post from Fort Worth Police is the only official bulletin available.
How the investigation is handled
Under state law, Texas law enforcement agencies must document officer-involved shootings on standardized reporting forms, and the Texas Attorney General keeps an archive of those incident reports. The Texas Attorney General also publishes the forms and annual tallies that local departments use to disclose these cases.
The Fort Worth Police Department maintains its own officer-involved shooting archive in the department newsroom and lists a non-emergency number, 817-392-4222, for people with tips, according to the Fort Worth Police Department. That page serves as the department’s primary hub for confirmed updates and media briefings on these incidents.
Recent Fort Worth context
Fort Worth has seen multiple officer-involved shooting investigations this year. In May, officers responded to a shooting at an apartment complex near Tanger Outlets that drew attention across Texas. As reported by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the Texas Rangers were called in to investigate that case.
The department says it will release more information on the S Freeway incident as investigators gather it, and this story will be updated with official statements and records once they are available. If you witnessed what happened or have information to share, police ask that you call the Fort Worth non-emergency line at 817-392-4222, or dial 911 in an emergency, according to the Fort Worth Police Department.
